Letting Go

About This Movie

Letting Go (2022) dives deep into the emotional turmoil of a teenager coping with loss. The animation style is quite unique, almost dreamlike, which complements the protagonist's journey through grief. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, allowing the audience to really absorb the weight of memories that haunt him. There's something poignant about how the reminders of his late sister surface in everyday school life, capturing that feeling of being trapped in nostalgia. The performances, though animated, feel very real—there's a rawness to the character's feelings that I found engaging. It’s a film that tackles themes of acceptance and moving forward, all while wrapped in beautifully crafted visuals that make it stand apart from typical animated fare.
