Lickalike

About This Movie

Lickalike is a fascinating exploration of the surreal through animation, where reality is flipped upside down—literally and metaphorically. The visuals are striking, the animation style feels almost experimental, drawing you into its odd world. The pacing can be disorienting, which I think adds to its charm; it mirrors the chaos of the characters’ journeys. Themes of connection and isolation play out in surreal ways, like that moment with the woman and the primordial soup—just wild imagery. The whole atmosphere feels like a strange dream where everything is slightly off, but in a way that makes you think. It’s definitely not your conventional story, and that’s what sticks with you after it’s over.
