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

85

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.

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?

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

claymation invented depression

the scene when theyre in the snow looking up at the moon???? so wonderful. who knew chunks of french speaking clay children would make me feel so many emotions.
 i’ve always been fascinated with claymation and this film made me even more enthralled and mesmerized with the art of stop motion :)

Bonita, triste y con sus momentos graciosos, not bad. 🖤

A very mature movie from the perspective of orphaned kids, who aren't represented very often, at least in this capacity. Plenty of humor throughout and very smoothly animated.

love love love this movie! something abut claymation and foreign films always gets to me. but on top of that this movies tells a story i really enjoyed watching unfold. i know most people say it’s slow and bland, but it feels so real. maybe i’m just saying that because it’s french and the animation is so good but all i know is now i can add courgette to the list of the 4 french words that i know

coraline but make it sad

this had exactly one vegetable in it ??????

literally the most pure-sad thing i've watched in a while tbh

Céline Sciamma is fast becoming my favourite screenwriter.

Her characters are so raw and well realised—from their individual quirks and nuances to their heartbreaking personal demons, I was so invested in each character that the film ended it (criminally short) 65 minute running time, I felt cheated of spending more time with it's wonderful cast.

Also, props to the animators for creating such a beautiful, rich and immersive world worthy of such a colourful collection of characters.

This is such an adorable yet heartbreaking film and I simply adore it.
