Grassroots is an interesting little piece, blending animation with a slice-of-life narrative about Baz, who’s sort of a washed-up Sunday League player. The film captures that weekend warrior vibe with a humor that feels both light and a tad melancholic. The pacing is leisurely, which really allows you to soak in the nuances of his life, the small victories, and those quiet moments of reflection. You can see a lot of practical effects in the animation style that give it a unique texture, something a bit more grounded than typical flashy animations. It’s relatable, especially for anyone who's ever clung to their youthful pursuits a little too long, and the way it tackles themes of aging and passion is quite striking.
