Endlessly

About This Movie

Endlessly (2017) is quite the gem in the realm of animation, even if the director remains unknown. The tone drifts between whimsical and reflective, capturing that awkward teenage angst we’ve all felt. The pacing has a dreamlike quality, which fits perfectly with the protagonist's journey through her subconscious. The atmosphere is rich, filled with vibrant colors and surreal imagery that really showcase CalArts’ artistic flair. Themes of family, appreciation, and growth thread through the narrative, which is a personal exploration rather than a grand adventure. The magical pet fish acts as a charming guide, and while it may not break new ground, its distinct style and heartfelt message resonate in a way that feels authentic. A strong student film to keep an eye on.
