sorry to Mr. Hertzfelt but I found the narrating voice pretty offputting. and i feel bad because it's not like something you can just change. but anyway it kind of gave the whole film a more lighthearted jokey vibe for me which I wasn't into. I could actually see myself really loving this a few years ago with some of the random out-there lines. as for the existential depressing stuff it's mostly things i've thought about a lot in the past and not very keen to think about again. there was a time when i used to just enjoy wallowing in my misery but as the years go on i'm getting tired.
Not a good sign though that I kept pausing the movie to go randomly check b8 or reddit though. And even though it's just over an hour long, I was glad it wasn't longer. The line about how the grandmother just suddenly imagined throwing the child into the fireplace was probably the first time i thought i could get "in" to the movie because intrusive thoughts are pretty relateable. I do like the blending of animation and live-action and the fact that it takes advantage of that medium though which is always the first thing I look for in an animated film. But yeah maybe if I was in a different place for my first viewing. 5/10
