Toro!

About This Movie

So, Toro! is an interesting mix of drama and animation. It starts off with this couple, you know, they’re off to a bullfighting arena, but they end up missing their bus. This sets up a kind of tension about responsibility and blame which is pretty relatable. Then, out of nowhere, it morphs into this intense duel between a toreador and a bull. The animation style, it really captures the urgency of the bullfight, but it also keeps this underlying emotional tone from the couple's drama. The pacing feels a bit erratic, but maybe that’s intentional? It kind of mirrors their chaotic relationship. The practical effects are worth noting, too—there’s a rawness to them that pulls you in and makes you think. It’s distinct for sure.
