About This Movie

Try Harder is an interesting animated short that dives into the existential crisis of an inanimate object. The bench, yearning to fit in with the rest of the furniture, brings a quirky charm to the film. The animation style is simple yet effective, conveying a whimsical atmosphere that feels reminiscent of early indie animations. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing viewers to digest the bench’s emotional journey without rushing through its unique narrative. Themes of identity and belonging are subtly explored, making it relatable on a surprisingly deep level. It’s not your typical animated fare, and the use of practical effects blends well with the animation, giving it a tactile quality that adds to its charm. Definitely a conversation starter among fellow collectors.
