Review of It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012) by Whiskeystories — 10 Jan 2019

I'm genuinely glad so many people adore this film and that it had such a huge effect on them. Personally it didn't affect me much, but I'm happy it exists and the 3rd chapter, I did like a lot. Nevertheless, If I had to sum up my honest thoughts on It's Such a Beautiful Day, it would be as follows:

A philosophy grad's "quirky" ponderings on life, death, deterioration, existential dread, memory, mental health, hereditary disorders and cancer* (brain tumor) etc etc, very neatly structured into a nice relatable "meaning-of-life" narrative with sort of annoying breathy narration and wonderful animation.
