lumps of clay that speak french made me cry?????

A zucchini has no real flavour of its own. When combined with the right ingredients and treated properly it takes on all flavours surrounding it, thus becoming part of the whole.

This is a metaphor, I'm not suggesting you should eat children.

Also watch this film. And be good to those you love.

And to those you don't love.

Just watch this film ok?

Consider myself floored, especially by its minimal runtime (70 minutes) and how it still manages to juggle the flow of childhood language, implications of the harrowing, and young, lost groups being revitalized by their respective traumas throughout an isolated, rudimentary setup. I can't praise this little movie enough. So many feels, so many truths, and yet always moving along a nice, quiet stream of compassion and kindness, never over-stuffing itself or settling for less.

whoops, went through a year
supply of Kleenex in a single hour.

claymation invented depression

wow that scene in the snow,
when they're looking up at
the moon -- what a moment.

I didn't realize how SAD this was gonna be. What a way to start the morning.

i need a fucking xanax

I AM IN AWE!

the enotional & narrative scope that this film manages to casually cover over the course of only an hour is incredible. wow. it’s so natural & childlike & innocent yet also so intense & brutal. also, the animation is stunning, the score is great, & the voice acting is spot-on (i watched it in the original french with subtitles. idk what the english dub is like).

and i loved the little details like simon’s black metal poster & the fact that camille was reading kafka at the age of 10 haha. 

such a beautiful film ! im blown away.

favorite quotes: “we’re all the same—there’s no one left to love us.” ; “i would’ve been a lousy cowboy.” ; “sometimes we cry when we’re happy.”

fuerte como tele de geriátrico

Nick Offerman is a treasure.

*tracy beaker voice* i’m not crying this is my hay fever !

This film was fuckin beautiful! And the animation looked great! Love a good stop motion! Such a heavy film too!

finally watched this and i’m so glad i did. a beautiful little movie.
