It's Such A Beautiful Day - 4/10

Visually I loved the stick figure style, but the scenes where it took a backseat to the rest of the imagery used kind of lost me. Whenever there was a shot focused on something like grass I wanted it to hurry up and get back to what it was doing before.

There were a couple of points where it started bothering my eyes, things are frequently frantic in this film and I was constantly wary about needing to pause the movie and kind of reset myself. Honestly a bit surprised that it didn't happen more often, glad it didn't though because my eyes seem to be aging fast enough lately and I'd prefer them not to continue the process any faster than necessary.

I guess after Barry Lyndon, where I liked everything about the movie except the story climaxes, had you told me the next movie would be entirely different I'd be happy, but it went in the opposite direction from the one I'd want. It was read in a way that made it feel like an old webcomic was adapted into a film, or as if tweets from a gimmick comedy account had been read aloud the way everything was short, blunt and then over and on to the next line. Also gave me Adult Swim vibes from a long time ago when I used to watch that every night, which seems like a lifetime ago and maybe a very different person as well.

There were some lines that just kind of came out of nowhere and I assume were supposed to get a chuckle out of me, but nothing was hitting at all for me. I've been accused of not liking to laugh in the past though so me sitting there stone-faced during comedy isn't much of an indictment.

I hate the narrators voice, tone, pacing. Not much to add to this. Hate it.

This can kind of be chalked up to a movie that was absolutely not made for someone like me. Just didn't click at all.
