About This Movie

Lava (2019) is a quirky blend of animation and sci-fi comedy that really leans into its surreal premise. Directed by Ayar Blasco, it follows Deborah, who has this unique gig drawing the skin of her clients—definitely a standout concept. The atmosphere feels a bit dreamlike, especially when the mundane takes a sharp turn as she and her housemates binge-watch a show called Gain of Clones. The pacing is an interesting mix—casual moments drift into bizarre highs when the signal cuts, and the visuals shift to this unsettling red hue. It's all about how reality and media intertwine, making you ponder the effects of what we consume. The practical effects, though not conventional, add a layer of charm and simplicity that enhances the narrative without overshadowing the characters.
