About This Movie

So, 'Points' from 1984, directed by someone who's still a bit of a mystery—it's this fascinating little animated piece by Dan Collins. The vibe is quirky and kind of abstract, with a surreal atmosphere that definitely stands out. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, letting you absorb the visuals and the oddball humor. The themes play around with perception and the nature of reality, which is pretty interesting, especially in animation. The practical effects are charmingly rudimentary, which gives it a unique character that you don’t see in the slicker stuff of today. It's definitely one of those films that makes you think while also making you smile, and that’s what keeps it interesting.
