In Orbit

About This Movie

In Orbit (2020) is a fascinating piece that weaves together animation and profound themes of loss. The story follows Sonia, who’s on the verge of moving to a new space station, but her thoughts are anchored in her past. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, reflecting her inner turmoil. The animation style is striking—unique, with a hand-drawn aesthetic that enhances the emotional weight. It's not just about the visuals, though; the pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to linger in Sonia's emotional landscape. The performances, despite being animated, convey a depth that resonates. There's this lingering sense of isolation in space, and it feels like a meditation on memory and regret, making it stand out among typical sci-fi animations.
