Sesame

About This Movie

So, here’s the thing with *Sesame*—it’s an unusual take on loss, really. The animation style is quite striking, almost surreal at times, which really suits the heavy theme of mourning. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the emotions to sink in, but it can be jarring given the subject matter. And while it’s a darkly comical premise—a woman grieving her own death—there’s a layer of depth in the exploration of how we cope with grief, especially in a world that seems to trivialize it. The practical effects used in some scenes are cleverly done, adding that distinct feel to the overall experience. The performances, especially the lead, capture that absurdity and sorrow in a way that sticks with you. It's not your typical animation fare, for sure.
