Crushed In Space

About This Movie

Crushed In Space is this intriguing little gem from 2017 that plays with the concept of unrequited love amid the vastness of space. The animation style is quite unique; it leans towards colorful and quirky with a handmade feel, giving it a charm that’s hard to shake off. The pacing is a bit off-kilter but in a way that mirrors the uncertainty of love itself—sometimes slow, sometimes jarring. The themes of longing and isolation are palpable throughout, accentuated by the backdrop of asteroids, which almost feel like characters in their own right. It’s not a big-budget flick, so the practical effects have a certain rawness that adds to its character. The performances, while not traditional, manage to evoke genuine emotion, making it a distinctive watch in the realm of animated features.
