Blackheads

About This Movie

So, Blackheads is this intriguing blend of stop motion and 2D animation. I mean, it really captures the awkwardness of bad therapy and heartbreak in such a visually striking way. The pacing feels just right; it meanders like a dream—almost like you're floating through her thoughts. The protagonist's journey is relatable yet surreal, dealing with the everyday struggle of self-image and emotional turmoil all while grappling with these literal blackheads. The practical effects are charming, giving it this tactile feel that enhances the narrative. It’s got this rawness that feels personal, almost like you're privy to her private moments. I appreciate how it mixes comedy with deeper themes, making you chuckle while you reflect on those uncomfortable truths.
