About This Movie

So, 'Send Me an Angel' is quite an intriguing piece from 2019, though the director remains a bit of a mystery. It's an animated film that dives deep into some heavy themes, especially around identity and acceptance. The story follows Tom and his dog, who’s not just any pooch but one with a hereditary skin disease. As their bond grows, it reveals layers of identity that are pretty compelling – turns out the dog is a transgender man. The animation style feels warm yet slightly surreal, which suits the emotional depth. The pacing is gentle, allowing the viewer to soak in the nuances of their relationship. It’s distinctive in how it approaches such topics with a blend of tenderness and realism, a refreshing take in animation.
