Jade

About This Movie

So, Jade is this intriguing 2016 animated film that dives into the psyche of a woman grappling with her illness. The animation style is quite unique—strange and sometimes unsettling. It really mirrors her fragmented thoughts, pulling you into a world that feels both surreal and personal. The pacing can be a bit erratic, which I think really fits the narrative; it reflects her mental state quite well. There's a strong theme of acceptance, or rather, the struggle against it. And the voice performances? They add a certain emotional depth that complements the visuals nicely. It’s not your typical animated fare; it feels more like an exploration of inner turmoil wrapped in a captivating artistic package.
