THE GIST: A man is shipwrecked on a deserted island where at least there's plenty of food and water. Still, wanting to go back, he makes several attempts to leave the island, all fruitless. One day, a red turtle emerges from the waters, looking at him. What is the meaning of it all?The Red Turtle is a really good animated movie unlike any I've seen before.
The story is well constructed and intriguing, with a central mystery that slowly unfolds. When it's all revealed, it's a total "A-ha" moment.
THE BOTTOM LINE: This film proves, without necessarily setting out to, that simple animation can be a great delivery method when you have a really good story. Many flashier animated films would be humbled by comparison.
Grade: 8
