Criss Cross (2021) brings a unique blend of animation that really captures the emotional weight of its story. The tone balances a whimsical approach with some darker themes of love facing societal hurdles. The pacing is interesting, sometimes slow but deliberate, allowing you to soak in the characters’ struggles. The visuals are solid, using practical effects to create a tactile feel, which is kind of rare in animation these days. The characters are relatable, depicting how bureaucracy can really complicate personal lives. Overall, it feels like a journey through love amid obstacles that many might find relatable, and there's a certain charm in how it tackles these heavier subjects without becoming too grim.
