Excellencies

About This Movie

Excellencies is this intriguing animation from 2011, though the director's name seems to have slipped through the cracks. The film carries this dreamy, almost ethereal atmosphere, melding vivid colors with unique character designs that feel both playful and introspective. The pacing is a bit of a mixed bag; there are moments that flow smoothly and others that feel deliberately languid, but it works well to establish a contemplative tone. Themes of aspiration, personal growth, and the complexity of relationships bubble underneath its surface. The practical effects, though limited, add a tactile quality, enhancing the surreal experience. It’s not your typical animation fare, but that’s what makes it stand out; it’s a curious blend of whimsy and depth that lingers long after viewing.
