It's Raining From the Evening

About This Movie

It's Raining From the Evening is this quirky little animated piece that’s got an almost whimsical yet melancholic vibe to it. The story, a kind of fairy tale, explores the unexpected consequences of a grandfather catching a mermaid and then, oddly enough, warming her on his stove. The pacing is leisurely, allowing the viewer to really soak in the atmosphere, which feels both magical and somewhat haunting. The practical effects used here are fascinating; they lend an unusual texture to the animation that sets it apart from more polished works. It’s really the blend of absurdity and tenderness that makes it distinctive, and the performances—though animated—carry a warmth that resonates beneath the odd premise.
