About This Movie

Tower is a fascinating blend of animation and documentary that really digs into the harrowing events of the 1966 University of Texas shooting. It's not your typical documentary; the rotoscopic animation adds a surreal layer that creates quite a distinct vibe. You get this mix of archival footage and animated visuals that pulls you in. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing space for the emotional weight of the survivors’ stories to hit you. What stands out is how it captures the resilience and humanity in the face of sheer horror. The performances of the narrators, combined with the art style, create an atmosphere that's both eerie and poignant, making you reflect on the impact of violence in a way that's more personal than clinical.
