This animated kids' movie shows viewers two different species--jungle animals and aliens--and how both species coexist.
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.
Self expression among teenagers is explored in the live adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's novel of the same name.
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
This short film was an overall creative success.
