Somebody Take the Wheel

About This Movie

So, 'Somebody Take the Wheel' is really interesting. It's this animated piece by Kenzie Sutton, though the director's background is a bit of a mystery. The stop-motion style is pretty impressive, with puppets that evoke a deep sense of loneliness. The way the animation captures the sadness of our times is striking. The pacing feels intentional, almost measured, allowing the weight of the visuals to sink in. You can tell there’s a lot of thought in how the movements reflect the themes of longing and connection. It's not your typical animation; it really immerses you in its atmosphere. Definitely a unique take on modern struggles, and those practical effects really stand out.
