Dorado

About This Movie

Dorado offers a stark, almost surreal look at a post-apocalyptic world where water is a rare commodity. The animation style is quite striking, blending simplicity with a haunting atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really feel the weight of the girl’s desperation as she tries to keep her goldfish alive. The themes of survival and innocence are interwoven in a way that pulls at you, especially when you consider the lengths she goes to. There’s something poignant about the relationship between the girl and her fish, which feels almost like a commentary on environmental degradation. The practical effects, though limited, are used effectively to enhance the overall mood. It’s a small gem that stands out for its emotional depth and visual storytelling.
