Koi

About This Movie

Koi is a curious piece, really. The animation style has this almost ethereal quality, creating an atmosphere that's both tranquil and slightly disorienting. It's about this fish, breaking free from an alien environment, which taps into themes of liberation and the search for identity. The pacing is interesting—meandering at times, almost meditative, which might not be for everyone, but it allows you to really soak in the visuals. There are moments where the practical effects stand out, adding a tactile feel that contrasts the digital animation. It’s not flashy but carries an emotional weight, making it distinct in a sea of animated features. A thoughtful watch, if you're in the right headspace.
