Darling This Was Hard

About This Movie

So, 'Darling This Was Hard' is quite a curious piece in the animation realm. It dives into the life of this isolated photographer, fixating on a single image of his ex every day. The atmosphere is tinged with melancholy, you really feel the weight of nostalgia. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which can be a departure for some, but it suits the theme perfectly. Visually, it’s interesting – they blend traditional animation with some practical effects, giving it a tactile feel that's not common in most animated films today. And while the character's inner turmoil is quite pronounced, the story is mostly told through visuals, which is a bold choice. Definitely something that stands out for its artistic approach and emotional depth.
