The Ogre

About This Movie

So, The Ogre from 2017 is an interesting piece. It’s this animated film that dives into themes of identity and self-acceptance, exploring how we often hide behind masks. The giant in the story is quite relatable actually, with his insecurities laid bare. The animation style has a rough charm, almost like a storybook that comes to life. Pacing is gentle—slow, but it builds up to this intense moment during the banquet that really flips everything. The atmosphere feels heavy yet whimsical, which is a tricky balance to pull off. I find the emotional depth here to be quite striking, especially in the giant's journey. Definitely sticks with you for a while.
