Archie

About This Movie

So, "Archie" is this charming animated piece that really leans into the emotional weight of loss and new beginnings. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to feel for Archie and his dog as they process their journey through the stunning landscapes of the Outer Hebrides. It's not just about the visuals, though - the practical effects used to create textures in the animation lend a unique depth to the whole experience. The tone is both melancholic and hopeful, which makes it distinctive in how it handles themes of grief. The way the story unfolds feels genuine, and the characters, while simple in design, are rich with emotion. It's a quiet film that stays with you, in a way you might not expect.
