Hedgehog

About This Movie

Hedgehog (2018) is this peculiar animation that dives deep into the psyche of its protagonist, Gareth. The film uses a hedgehog as a metaphor for his self-doubt, which I found interesting. The tone is quite introspective, almost dreamlike in places, blending moments of whimsy with a palpable sense of melancholy. The pacing feels deliberate—slow enough to let you sit with Gareth’s struggles but not dragging. The visuals are charming, yet they have a raw quality, almost like a sketchbook come to life. It's not your typical animation; there’s a distinctive emotional weight that stays with you. The voice performances lend a richness to the characters that elevates the material, making the experience feel quite personal.
