Us Four

About This Movie

So, 'Us Four' is this intriguing animation piece that kind of blurs the lines between documentary and fiction. It dives into the nostalgia of childhood through Alex's conversations with her younger sisters. There’s this bittersweet tone throughout, really capturing the essence of growing up and the bittersweet feelings of leaving home. The animation style leans towards a dreamlike quality, which pairs well with the reflective conversations—brings a kind of warmth, but also a sense of melancholy. The pacing feels natural, leaving you to linger on those memories as they unfold. What I find distinctive is how it handles sibling dynamics; it’s not just about reminiscing but also about realizing how each of them has changed. Definitely a piece that resonates on a personal level, you know?
