Inertness

About This Movie

So, 'Inertness' is this intriguing piece of animation from 2021, even though the director remains a mystery. The atmosphere is quite surreal, almost dreamlike, and it really plays with the concept of stagnation both visually and thematically. The pacing is deliberately slow, which might not suit everyone, but it kind of lets you sink into its world. What stands out is the use of practical effects, giving it a textured feel—like it’s crafted by hand, rather than just computer-generated. The character performances, though animated, feel pretty layered, even if they don’t have the usual flair. It's distinctive in how it explores themes of inertia and the struggle to move forward, without spoon-feeding the audience.
