This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
the placement of the american flag in colour is sitting with me. it’s so immensely fucked that you know exactly what’s going to happen the second you see that flag.
America is so fucked up.
this feels like something that would go viral on facebook in like 2012 also who the fuck chose a king princess song for this and why
1950 does not fit into this at all... it really ruined the vibe for me. That’s... not what that song is about. I thought Spotify had started playing the song independently, that’s how much it stuck out and felt out of place.
Of course, it’s hard hitting and emotionally overwhelming, but that’s mostly just the subject matter and not really the way it’s been told. The animation style lends itself to the subject matter, in that it looks as though it was drawn on a school notebook. I’m sad but this wasn’t that great.
is it bad that I didn't shed a single tear? I feel like a robot. Guess I wasn't in the mood for something like this but I went in completely blind.
It's incredible how emotionally impactful a 12 minute long animated film can be
well I'm just sad now

Hi everybody, this film may be short, but within just devastating 12 minutes of an emotional, heartbreaking story I pretty much felt empty and broken. If you have ever lost someone close in your life, if you have ever loved someone from the bottom of your heart you will feel the gut-wrenching pain as if this story of grief affects you personally. Despite the fact of being (gorgeously) animated it surpasses the fictional world and becomes more real and realistic than any other films with only slightly similar topics. Every single second is filled with beautifully composed substance and sense. An obituary to life that simply…

It has been a long time since I felt so fulfilled after watching something so grim and devastating. Having witnessed the inevitable and everlasting pain that is associated with losing one’s child (from someone close to me), I can definitely say with certainty that there is no timeline associated with grief or coping. Every day is a challenge and no amount of time or coping mechanisms makes the pain go away.
There is no proper answer to dealing with or overcoming grief. What filmmakers Michael Govier and Will McCormack did to convey their message through this heartbreaking narrative was…
