LIFE, ANIMATED (2016) — Sleeper Awakened

2/9/2017 - Life, Animated (2016) - 6+/7-/10

Inspiring. A good documentary that entertains while illuminating.

The deft storytelling, with the cross mediums and the experiential expressionism was a joy and privilege. It was moving and impactful enough to slightly attune the way I looked at/deal with the autistic. A special story and unique interpretation.

It may have been too long by a slight, lagging a speck and sacrificing some story/character momentum. There weren’t many tweaks to a pretty standard doc format, but it was engaging and edifying with its grace & pathos laden enlightenment. Certainly not extraordinary or overly amazing, but this was an unexpected treat.
