Angel's Egg

Literally nothing happens the whole movie

Uhhhh so basically the whole movie is confusing, it has this otherworldly place but doesn’t elaborate on it, has only 2 characters and doesnt give them names, and has the main character wander round the world for 40 minutes of the 70 minute movie doing absolutely nothing.

I have like 3 pros but mainly, u do not need to watch this, despite the fact its 62 minutes long without credits, it does absolutely nothing the whole time, there’s shadow fish for some reason, and borderline no dialogue, there’s none until the halfway mark and even then it’s 6 conversations at most between the 2, during one random one the side guy starts spitting pure poetry levels of storytelling, but the story doesn’t make sense to the plot unless you research it, so to the casual viewer, you have absolutely what this mf motive is and or why.

And one final complaint before I give it some props, wtf was going on, it was something about an egg, then a bird, then Noah’s ark, then some stone Death Star, and then about the otherworldly island they were staying on, it just doesn’t start or go anywhere, yet the only reason it’s 4 stars are mainly because it’s got some great animation and music.

Plot ?/10 or 3/10 (no idea wtf was going on but maybe I'm just slow)

Soundtrack/Score 9/10 (can’t lie the vocals were heavenly)

Acting 7/10 (no dialogue for 90% of the movie and they don’t say much)

Cinematography 9/10 ( one of the only reasons it’s 4 stars tbh)

Pacing 8/10 (hard to have bad pacing when you have no idea what’s going on or where it’s going)

Character Development 2/10 (literally none whatsoever, only reason it’s a 2 is because I felt bad for the little girl, but then again ID FEEL BAD FOR ANY LITTLE GIRL)

Writing ?/10 (I’d like it if it made any kind of sense to the human brain)

Ending 5/10 (no emotional impact in the slightest WHEN I DON’T KNOW ANY OF THE CAST’S NAMES)

Direction 9/10 (great sense of direction, not a great sense of script)

Overall 8.5/10

Beautiful, melancholy and slow. This is more of an art experience than a true narrative. Still, there’s so much left to interpretation. If you enjoy symbolism, and beautiful animation, this is for you. Be warned: it’s slow.

dont know what was happening but the art was nice i guess

🫎🫎🫎🫎1/2

What the actual fuck.

This is the most haunting and beautiful setting I’ve seen in an animated film ever. That score was so eerie, i loved it.

The characters designs were🤌

Although the film had little dialogue, i didn’t need any because i was so encapsulated by the beautiful animation. I love the long shots where they give you the opportunity to actually look at everything that’s going on.

This movie felt like being trapped in a spell.

This would honestly be a perfect watch around Halloween.

Was okay i enjoyed the art but it was a bit boring in my opinion
