Flicker

About This Movie

Flicker is this intriguing little gem from 2018 that combines animation with a kind of ethereal melancholy. The film follows a light spirit, navigating through this deserted world. You really feel the desolation in the visual style—there's a haunting beauty to the backgrounds, and the pacing allows you to soak it all in. The themes of hope and sacrifice play out quietly, but resonate deeply. The practical effects they use to bring the light spirit to life are quite unique, too; it adds an organic feel that contrasts with the stark environment. It’s not exactly mainstream, but there’s something really special about its atmosphere and the way it unfolds. Definitely stands apart in the animation genre.
