MidWest (2020) is this quiet, reflective piece that really pulls you into the atmosphere of a dilapidated home in the heartland. The animation style is simple yet evocative, almost like a watercolor painting come to life. You feel the emptiness of the house and the loyalty of the dog as it waits, day after day. It’s not fast-paced, more of a slow burn, allowing the viewer to soak in the tension of waiting. The themes of loyalty, loss, and the passage of time resonate deeply, showcasing a bond that transcends words. It’s distinctive in how it relies on minimal dialogue and strong visual storytelling to convey emotion. Definitely a unique watch in the animation genre.
