Arco

“Beautifully animated. Simple plot, yet so emotionally powered. Soundtrack was transcendent. Themes of technology’s impact on society and mental health, and broad commentary on the impending future perils in the world. Would recommend and rewatch.”

“Arco is an Oscar-nominated animated film. Sci-fi/Adventure ‧ 1h 29m In 2075, a 10-year-old girl, Iris, sees a mysterious boy wearing a rainbow jumpsuit falling from the sky. It's Arco. He comes from a distant, idyllic future where time travel is possible. Iris takes him in and will do whatever it takes to help him return home. Where to watch: Amazon, AppleTV My Rating: 7/10 I saw this in theaters. The animation was gorgeous but the pacing was kinda bonkers. They cram a lot into the ninety minutes. I laughed, I teared up.”

“top-shelf french animation that splits the difference between ghibli and moebius. for a movie that clocks in under 90 minutes, its world-building packs quite a punch. somebody tell me where i can buy dougie/stewie/frankie's 🌈 glasses.”
