About This Movie

I Made You, I Kill You is a fascinating blend of animation and documentary that dives deep into Badelita’s childhood in rural Romania. The film slides between somber reflection and unsettling memories, creating a tone that’s both hypnotic and jarring. It uses practical effects to enhance its emotional weight, rather than relying on flashy visuals. The pacing feels almost dreamlike at times, allowing viewers to linger on poignant moments or be jolted by harsh realities. What stands out is how Badelita’s personal narrative intertwines with broader themes of trauma and resilience. It’s not your typical animated fare; there’s something raw and unfiltered about the storytelling that keeps you engaged, even when the material gets heavy.
