Like Water

About This Movie

So, 'Like Water' is an interesting animation piece that kind of mixes the vibrancy of urban life with a deep dive into personal struggles. André, our protagonist, is a photography enthusiast, and the way they animate the city really captures its energy. But the film doesn’t just focus on that; it navigates the awkwardness of modern dating with apps and the ghosting phenomenon, which feels real and relatable. The pacing is smooth but gives you enough breathing room to really feel André’s insecurities. There’s a spiritual moment at the beach that serves as a turning point, beautifully animated and reflective. It’s all about self-acceptance woven through unique visual storytelling. Quite distinct in its approach, honestly.
