My Lillie

About This Movie

So, 'My Lillie' is quite the intriguing piece from Dashiell Alexander. It blends animation with fantasy and romance, creating a world that feels both whimsical and poignant. The story follows a young man whose affection manifests in a rather peculiar way—he gifts endless flowers to his beloved, which leads to a gradual decay of not just his garden, but also their relationship. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional weight to settle in, and there’s a certain dreamlike quality to the visuals that pulls you in. The hand-drawn animation has a charm that feels old-school, yet the themes of love and obsession resonate in a contemporary way. The performances, though animated, are rich in expression, which makes it all the more compelling.
