When

About This Movie

'When' is a fascinating blend of animation, documentary, and speculative fiction that captures the filmmaker's raw journey through mental illness. It's not your typical animated piece; the CGI work here feels almost like a dreamscape, blurring the lines between reality and perception. The pacing oscillates between moments of introspection and more chaotic visuals, mirroring the filmmaker's struggles with Anorexia Nervosa, Anxiety, and Depression. You really feel the weight of these themes – it's honest without being overly sentimental. There's a distinctive atmosphere throughout, a sense that every visual choice is deliberate, serving as an extension of the emotional turmoil. If you're into experimental storytelling, this one stands out for its unique approach to such heavy topics.
