Matter of Habit

About This Movie

Matter of Habit is a curious piece of animation, striking in its visual style but lacking a clear narrative thread. The pacing is a bit erratic, which gives it an almost dreamlike quality, drifting from one scene to another. The atmosphere is intriguing, with a blend of surreal imagery and oddball character designs that stick with you. You can sense a certain experimentation in its execution—practical effects mixed with traditional animation techniques that feel a bit raw and unrefined but add character. The themes seem to hover around consciousness and routine, though they’re delivered in a way that requires some interpretation. It’s not for everyone, but if you appreciate the obscure corners of animation, it might resonate.
