Wool 100%

About This Movie

Wool 100% is quite a curiosity in the animation realm, blending comedy and fantasy in a way that feels both whimsical and melancholic. The story of these two elderly women, who seem to live off the remnants of a passing world, opens up into a surreal encounter with a young girl knitting a red sweater. The pacing is gentle, allowing the viewer to really soak in the atmosphere of their solitary lives. There’s a tone of nostalgia and a hint of magic realism that makes it distinct. The practical effects have this charming, tactile quality that enhances the knitting motif. It’s interesting how the unraveling of the girl’s creations reflects deeper themes of creativity and impermanence, which I think elevates the film beyond simple comedy.

Unique animation style, blending practical effects.Themes of creativity and impermanence explored.A gentle pacing that allows for deep atmosphere.
