Objective Rating: 10/10 c. 3.8/4 (Great).
Beautiful and funny. The sequel to “Everything Will Be OK” (which can be seen on volume 3 of The Animation Show). It’s not as silly as earlier Hertzfeldt cartoons, but it’s certainly one of his best. The expressiveness of the stick-figure animation is mind-boggling.
