Roar

About This Movie

Roar (2018) is a curious little gem that blends adventure, animation, and drama in a unique way. The story centers around Anya, a girl grappling with the harsh realities of bullying, which manifests into this creature during her vulnerable moments. There’s a rawness to the way her emotions are portrayed, especially in the scenes where the monster disrupts her sleep—it's almost unsettling. The pacing feels like a gentle tide, ebbing and flowing between Anya's struggles and her reluctant bond with the creature. The animation style has a certain charm, giving a whimsical yet slightly eerie atmosphere. And those practical effects? They add a tangible quality that really makes the emotional beats hit harder. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your thoughts long after watching.
