Review of Waltz with Bashir (2008) by Jeremy J — 05 Nov 2009

Superb. From a production standpoint, this film leaves a deep impression on the viewer thanks to it's brilliant art direction and animation. Stunning. I don't really think the story moves too slowly, in fact, I think the pacing and the direction are very well balanced and ultimately perfectly suited to the film's grave subject matter. The plot structure and visual structure are symphonic in scope and depth.

While the film is very good, it cannot fully prepare the viewer for the final scenes. One of the most powerful films I've ever seen.
