Bodies of Water

About This Movie

Bodies of Water is an intriguing blend of animation and introspective storytelling. The film takes a unique approach to mental health, using the journey of Lake, who’s quite literally drowning in his thoughts, as a vehicle for exploration. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, mirroring the tranquil yet tumultuous nature of water itself. Mac, his companion, serves as a grounding force, leading Lake on a retreat where the visuals are lush and soothing. It’s distinct, not just because of its themes but also in its animation style. There’s a raw, almost handmade quality to the characters and settings that feels refreshing. It’s a quiet piece, one that lingers in your mind long after it’s over.
