Squib - When All of This is Over

About This Movie

So, there's this animated film called 'Squib - When All of This is Over' from 2021. It's a bit of an oddity, really. The director’s unknown, which adds to its mystique. The whole piece plays out like a visual poem, crafted in response to that intense lockdown period. You can feel the claustrophobic vibes throughout, almost like the walls are closing in, but there’s this glimmer of hope peeking through. The pacing is contemplative, letting the imagery linger, which I find quite effective. It’s distinct in how it weaves together themes of confinement and the anticipation of future freedom. The practical effects used are pretty creative, considering the constraints. Definitely a unique watch for anyone into thematic animation.
