It's like the Boss Baby but in China and also it's good.

Holy shit this one was amazing. Not only is it creative in its visuals and animation, and able to have lots of fun uses of the medium, it's also heartbreaking and mournful. Easily my favourite from the whole animation category, it's the one I want to win, but there's no way it'll actually win.

Also try into it blind because some reviews on here do kinda spoil aspects of the movie just based on what they say

I can definitely see how this may be read as anti-choice when seen through a western lens, but to me it's clearly not about that. Very impressive!

NOMINEE- Oscars, short animation.

This film punched me right in the face. Also, the felt based stop motion animation is cool.

Short films always give me the feels... I don't like it.

Curtas de animação indicados ao Oscar 2020 #2

Sister: começa bonitinho demais, aos poucos esse curta vai ficando mais sombrio, até chegar no momento em que a narradora joga a verdade na sua cara. Depois disso nem fica pesado, fica breu total. Esse curta também é bastante pessoal, assim como "daughter". Terminei de assistir "sister" mal demais. Vá preparado, é um soco no estômago.

Nota: 7

This short isn’t anti-choice. It is against China’s One Child Policy, something that takes the choice away from women. 
The animation style made this moving story more powerful.

直白有如大字標語。向老外獻媚的良心故事。美術方面也沒有看點。

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Some voiceover talking about very serious stuff in a not entertaining way. Really the worst version of what I think of when I think of the animated shorts I do not like out of the ones I have seen since I started seeing the nominees a few years ago.

💡 Pembangkit imajinasi karya sutradara perempuan asal Tiongkok, Siqi Song 😃

LOL American audiences are going to eat this up, people love any excuse to feel superior/pitying to China especially right now

Nunca tinha pensado em um stop-motion feita com fibra siliconada e achei bem interessante. A história também é envolvente e principalmente com o final cultural que muito esquecemos que realmente existiu.

oscar nominated short films: animated #3

very very very pretty. 

4/6

This wholly original stop-motion short has a narrator reflecting on growing up in China in the 1990s and his “annoying little sister.” The film is animated by, shot by, produced by, written by and directed by Song Siqi, who weaves a far superior story in minutes than that of Laika’s MISSING LINK, the only other 2019 stop-motion Oscar nominee, which she happened to work on as a model maker. Craft is crucial, but narrative is key. Mark my words, she’s a filmmaker to keep an eye on.

A very touching story about China’s one-child policy presented from the point of view of a Chinese boy, who still seems vexed by the younger sister, pretty good!
