Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

bob the moo It isn't "Up" by any means but this sweet little film starts with a young girl in a classroom thinking and dreaming of her future and then we skip forward into love, adulthood, children and their maturing as the elderly couple looks back on a happy life together. The idea is simple but the film delivers it very well in a way that shows Lascano has a good sense of how to make an impact in a mainstream way with good use of images, styles and music. The end result is easily sentimental and charming – it doesn't have any depth to it but it is sweet as an idea and as a short film.The choice of music is the beautiful build of the Sigur Rós track Hoppípolla – it is perfect for this sort of stuff and the only downside of how good it is for "sentimental but upbeat build" stuff is that you will have heard it used many times in various trailers and adverts for things, for example I think Planet Earth or some similar documentary used it in their adverts. I am so sure you have seen it done that you'll probably recognize the track when you hear it – even if you don't know who Sigur Rós are. The animation is really good, sometimes crude, sometimes smooth but while the animation itself is good it is the effects around it that work even better; soft lighting, changes in focus, shifting time showing by clever transitions and so on – it looks good and fits the music and materialThe film doesn't put on great aspirations for being profound or deep and instead it does what it does really well – a short love story with simple sentimentality and charm.

Rectangular_businessman This was a very sweet short.Even when the animation from this film isn't at the same level of masterpieces like Coraline, it had an undeniable charm, being something very enjoyable to watch.In many ways, this feels like a music video, where the Sigur Rós song "Hoppípolla" serves as an effective accompaniment for what we see on screen.Even when the combination of different animation styles (Stop-motion and flash) doesn't work all the time, the result is still very pleasant and heartwarming,7.5/10
