SUGAR

About This Movie

So, SUGAR (2019) is this unique animated piece that dives into a post-apocalyptic vibe, blending a bit of the familiar with the bizarre. It centers on this humanoid robot, SUGAR, who's got feelings and can even dance—definitely not your typical robot. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the atmosphere to build around the stark realities of humanity’s decline. When SUGAR meets this HON character, a post-influencer, there's a palpable tension that reflects on themes of connection and what it means to be human in a decaying world. Visually, it’s distinct, utilizing some practical effects that lend a gritty texture, which really sets it apart from more polished animations. It’s a thought-provoking watch, layered and a bit off-kilter, which I find appealing.
