the thing in addams family walked so the hand in i lost my body could run

I love animation and I miss France

I really gotta hand it to this movie

this would be great if not for the fact that the love story starts with the guy surreptitiously following the girl home?? no thank you

who the fuck asks for extra onion on their pizza

tarantino is making a sequel about a foot as we speak!!!!

I Lost My Body has some wonderful animation, that is both crude and yet incredibly artistic. It is often a wonder to look at, despite clunky movement. It is both wildly original and yet trope-heavy. There's things to really appreciate, like a female character actually calling out a guy for his creepy romantic bullshit. The reconciliation of plot strands is also very well structured. It's different and special, I Lost My Body is beautifully by itself.

2019 Ranked

stunning animation accompanied by a stunning score!!!! it’s nice to see animation is alive and well and being taken to new and interesting places

Best animated movie of 2019, HANDS down.

Call this a target audience problem. I don’t like people who define themselves primarily through loss. I don’t like pity being the primary feeling that you get off a person. I don’t like romantic stories where the male lead’s quality that he brings to the table is want. 

The primary device employed to tell the narrative is the journey of a disembodied hand, echoing the various tribulations undergone by the protagonist as he gets kicked around by the world. That’s clever enough, although they lay it on a little thick with the hand’s never ending journey of suffering. The art is pretty, and on its own it’s worth more than a bit; the animation leaves a lot to be desired, however. Uneven and choppy. 

A story that desperately wants the viewer to feel sorry for someone. I’d imagine quite a few will.

Based on the Guillaume Laurant book Happy Hand, I Lost My Body is equally profoundly moving and sharply heartfelt. It spotlights writer-director Jérémy Clapin’s strikingly beautiful animation in a story which chronicles a disembodied hand crawling across Paris in search of its young owner, Naoufel. The lonesome trials and tribulations they both undergo simultaneously mirrors their own particular sense of alienation and longing. The animation itself is in a beautiful photorealistic hand-drawn style, and there's a genuinely mesmerising score by Dan Levy, and although the results are thoughtfully sad, they are also utterly brilliant.

I will never take my hands for granted ever again.

Stirring movie, animation is great.

Excelente.

seriously underrated -- a marvel of animation and storytelling

This guy really needed a HAND with discovering himself.

The desperate search for yourself in the midst of chaos is perfectly blended into each scenes. The jump from past to present carried by single fly is one of the cleverest thing I watched in animation!

In most ways, a part of ourselves can relate to Nafouel’s hard attempt at changing his unfortunate fate into a life that he dreamed of for maybe few seconds. We have all been there.

A beautiful atmospheric picture which portrays the troubles of dealing with trauma in a moody, dark and almost depressing way.

Honestly looking back I probably enjoyed it move than I first thought, I just found the ending was left to open with too many questions.

heartwrenchingly sad. the story of a hand that longs for its body, two stories connected solely by music and memories.

this movie is a masterpiece, but definitely more about what it evokes than any narrative. Naoufel's story, his sadness and loneliness, will always find a sympathetic viewer in any time and in any place.

個screenplay真係好厲害

Who needs good writing when the vibes are this good?

I mean, the animation is stunning and the soundtrack is some of the best I've ever heard. But I was most interested in the atmospheric scenes of the hand venturing across the city moreso than the actual characterization.

I never said it was easy. You can't win every time. That's life.

Made me cry on the plane
