Me + Her

About This Movie

So, 'Me + Her' is an interesting little gem from 2014. Directed by Joseph Oxford, it really leans into that unique animation style, using simple cardboard cutouts to tell a surprisingly deep story. The pacing captures that mix of whimsy and melancholy, which kind of reflects Jack’s struggle to reconnect with Jill after her illness takes her away. The practical effects are charming, and you can really feel the effort put into bringing these two cardboard characters to life. It's not your typical romance; it’s more about connection and the lengths one will go to for the ones they love. The whole vibe is a bit bittersweet, and the emotional beats hit differently because of the handmade aesthetic. Definitely something to ponder after viewing.
