Intermission

About This Movie

So, 'Intermission' is this interesting 2016 animated film that dives into the Ajin condition with a darkly comedic flair. There’s a certain quirkiness to the animation style – it’s not your typical polished look, which adds to the charm. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that’s where it gets interesting. Each of the four short stories has its own rhythm, bouncing from absurdity to moments that make you think. The humor is sharp, playing on the absurdity of life and death through the lens of Ajin. The performances, though voice work, really shine in delivering that mix of wit and melancholy. It’s not your run-of-the-mill animated feature, that’s for sure.
