About This Movie

Time of Sheep presents a surreal dystopia where red dust has ravaged humanity, leaving only the sheep to thrive. The stop-motion animation really stands out, creating a tactile, almost tangible world that feels alive. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of its themes—such as survival and the shifting dynamics of power—to sink in. The sheep, treated almost like deities, raises questions about our relationship with nature and reliance on other beings. Mendes' direction captures an eerie atmosphere that lingers, blending whimsy with darker undertones. It's a curious exploration of a world turned upside down, driven by the unique visual storytelling that makes it quite distinct in the realm of animated sci-fi.
