And Don’t Call Me Crazy

About This Movie

And Don’t Call Me Crazy dives into the often overlooked chaos of the psychiatric system through the eyes of a woman navigating her treatment. It's an animated piece that feels raw and almost unsettling at times, with a visual style that complements the fragmented nature of her reality. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of each moment, which feels almost meditative but disorienting too. The themes of alienation, the coldness of clinical settings, and the struggle for identity are palpable throughout. The performances, even in an animated context, convey a depth of emotion that sticks with you, leaving an impression that's hard to shake off. It’s distinct in how it blends animation with a serious critique, a kind of animated documentary feel that makes it stand apart.
