About This Movie

UM stands out with its surreal animation style that feels both vibrant and haunting. Nieto dives into a world where avian deities confront the chaos left behind by humanity’s recklessness. You can really feel the weight of the themes—balance, restoration, and the consequences of excess—woven into the visuals. The pacing seems deliberately erratic, mirroring the chaotic world it portrays. The character designs are exceptionally unique, with a blend of whimsy and menace that lingers in your mind. There’s something bold about how it tackles the darker aspects of human nature while still maintaining a playful edge. It’s a film that invites deep thought while also being a visual feast, making it a remarkable piece in the animation genre.
