Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

'City of God' depicts the cylindrical cycle of violence that is forced upon the underprivileged.

'A Wrinkle In Time' combines fantasy and science fiction to bring the classic story to life.

At least we got the original cast back, right? Not even that saves it. None of them could bring a sliver of hope to this special. Rather, they bring dread as we witness the light leaving from their eyes.

This short film was an overall creative success.
