If Only...

About This Movie

If Only... is a unique little gem from '87, blending animation with a raw, almost gritty atmosphere. It tells the story of two friends, lost in their beer-soaked fantasies, dreaming about an idyllic escape that’s all too close yet remains out of reach. The computer animation is a bit rough around the edges, which somehow adds to the film’s charm, making it feel more personal. The pacing lets you settle into their world, really capturing that sense of longing and regret. It's interesting how it nudges at our own perceptions of happiness, suggesting that often we overlook what's right in front of us. The film’s tone is wistful, yet it carries an edge that makes you think.

Interesting exploration of environment vs. attitude.Rough animation style adds to the film's uniqueness.Captivating portrayal of friendship and dreams.
