Ratings and reviews

A somber yet hilarious look into the future of humanity, this movie is short but makes its point. This director/animator really knows what he's doing when it comes to creating compelling stories and interesting visuals with stick figures. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to feel that sweet combination of dread and comedy that only a few things can elicit.

At the end of my torturous days in food service I would come home and just go catatonic on the TV. Until one day, I saw this movie. I was filled with a joy over Emilie. I would go back to the wellspring of joy every day thereafter. Each day this movie touched my poisoned soul and made me laugh like a little kid who didn't have a care in the world. I even jumped out of my seat at the end yelling, "OH NO!!!" when we find our lovely and pure Emilie thrown back 8 million years into an ice age Earth and casting about with her confused little eyes at the blowing environment. But this is a tremendous feel good although bleak movie. Its cynical narrative is positively delightful, appropriately operating in the realms of oxymoron, due to its nature as an uplifting and sweetly endearing film. I live on a fixed income, but if VUDU offered this movie I WOULD own it. You should too. It'll work beautifully soothing the societal tensions you become entangled with during your workdays. It's tough out there, especially as a person who cares about what people need in their life's; love. But I promise you, it is easy to love this movie! Try it, you'll see; a visit from Emilie each day, keeps the doldrums away.

Only 15 minutes long, but a serious contender for best movie of 2015. It's darkly funny -- somehow depressing and inspiring at the same time. The pacing is so good, so... economical. Every second, even every pause seems purposeful. Everyone should watch! It's short.
