It Is What It Is

About This Movie

So, 'It Is What It Is' is an intriguing piece of animation, really. The dialogue flows like water, intimate and reflective, centering on a man and a woman discussing birds—sounds simple, right? But it’s a clever metaphor for their relationship and the complexities therein. The pacing is leisurely, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere, which is both whimsical and a bit melancholic. The animation style has a raw, hand-drawn quality, which somehow enhances the emotional weight of their conversation. The performances, though animated, feel deeply human, and you can sense the unspoken layers beneath their words. It’s a thoughtful exploration of connection and distance, and I think that’s what stands out. Definitely a unique experience.
