Glide

About This Movie

So, 'Glide' is this intriguing animated film that dives into the mind of a young boy, Kyutae, after his friend Young mysteriously vanishes. It captures that surreal feeling of childhood loss with a dreamy, almost whimsical style, like floating through a memory. The animation is both ethereal and earthy, contrasting the magical gliders that populate Kyutae's perception. There's this hauntingly beautiful atmosphere throughout, especially during the scenes at school where gliders appear unexpectedly. It’s not just about nostalgia; the pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, pushing the viewer to linger in each moment of Kyutae’s journey. The film really leans into themes of friendship and the innocence of youth, making it stand out amongst typical animated features.
