Marbles

About This Movie

So, 'Marbles' is an intriguing blend of animation and drama, quite unlike anything I’ve seen. Directed by Danielle Olson, it tackles mortality in this hauntingly beautiful world where lives are symbolized by marbles. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in Lisa's reflections on her life. It has this deeply emotional core that resonates as she prepares to say goodbye to her family. The animation style, while simple, enhances the poignant atmosphere, making moments feel both intimate and universal. The performances, especially from the voice actors, are raw and impactful, drawing you into Lisa's journey. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after you’ve watched it, leaving you to ponder your own connections and what really matters.

'Marbles' has had a limited release, making any physical copies quite scarce, which adds to the collector's allure. The unique animation style combined with its gripping narrative has sparked interest among fans of indie animations and drama alike. As with many films that tackle heavier themes, it's appreciated more in collector circles for its emotional depth and artistic approach rather than its mainstream appeal.
