This Actually Happens a Lot

About This Movie

This Actually Happens a Lot is an intriguing blend of animation that tackles social anxieties in a very literal way. Picture this: a vibrant party scene where a girl confronts a guy who’s clearly struggling with his nerves. As she digs into his discomfort, he starts floating—yeah, you heard that right. It’s a whimsical yet poignant exploration of how anxiety can feel like you’re literally lifting off the ground, detached from reality. The animation style is playful, almost dreamlike, which complements the quirky premise. There’s a nice pacing to it; the atmosphere balances between light-hearted and reflective. It’s distinctive because it so boldly visualizes the inner turmoil of anxiety while keeping a humorous edge.
