This Stays Between Us

About This Movie

This Stays Between Us is a curious little gem in the animation realm. It opens with this pot of paint, just falling, and you quickly realize it’s not just a spill – it’s a catalyst for chaos in the neighborhood. The tone is quite peculiar, blending whimsy with a hint of foreboding, and you can sense the underlying commentary on community and consequence. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the reactions of the characters as they grapple with the aftermath. The practical effects are charming, giving it a tactile feel that digital animation sometimes lacks. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your mind, not because of flashy visuals but rather through its exploration of human connection, unpredictability, and the messiness of life.
