Beautifully Crafted–Proves Animation is not just for Children–in fact don't show to Children - Memoir of a Snail review by griggs
Memoir of a Snail is a beautifully crafted, emotionally wrenching animation that pushes the boundaries of what we expect from the medium. I can handle bleakness, but this is just unrelenting sadness, which is hard to process as our brains aren’t wired for this kind of anguish in animation. The visuals are stunning, and the score is beautiful. The final moments offer a sliver of redemption, but the weight of it all lingers like a punch to the gut.
