Jonni Peppers is easily becoming one of my current favorite animation directors of all time. 

The animation is absolutely amazing, the soundtrack is super great, the pacing feels satisfying, the voice acting just works perfectly, and almost all of the characters are so endearing. As for the story, there’s so much that happens in this film in which it feels like there’s interpretation for people to think about. But to me, Barber Westchester is a vibrant yet beautiful coming of age film about Barber, the main character, longing for comfort from the issues in her life.

Barber got into astronomy and space because she just wanted an escape from the personal problems in her life and to be great at something. When Barber got a job at NASA, she thought that this was what her life was all leading up to. But she was told that everything about space was all fake and meaningless. Ultimately making everything that she worked so hard for, worth nothing. Understandably stressed out and afraid, Barber is wanting for another answer to help deal with her personal problems. Through interactions with a handful of characters, she learns that confronting the problems in front of her is the best way of helping to resolve them. When she finally does, her life makes more sense to her in a way and finally feels comfortable living. Even when holding back on the past and future, Barber knows that everything will eventually pass from her life and enjoys the one she has now.

Just a marvelous masterpiece of a gem that people should absolutely give a watch at least once in their life!! ❤️

Great movie about finding purpose in the world when your own mind is against you and dealing with the existential crisis that follows your whole worldview collapsing in right front of you. The movie isn’t for everyone, and some scenes aren’t that necessary, but overall a great work.

I’m constantly getting amazed by these artists on YouTube. Most of their content is better than 90% of mainstream animation that’s been out in the last 10 years. I think what’s special about these projects is that these stories are pure projections of the animator’s true feelings. They make these amazing stories for themselves and not for money or anyone else.

I’m a sucker for weird, unique and obscure art styles. Because although they don’t look like reality, in what they’re depicting it feels like the closest thing to reality. All of the discombobulated and imperfect shapes gather together to create this canvas in which the audience has to put the picture together.

It’s crazy how bizarre and surreal perspectives accurately show how life really is. I’m not 100% sure what’s the case with this film and life but what I picked up is that life as a base is absolutely meaningless but the things that make up life aren’t. But it does make fun of the whole belief system that humans have since they so desperately don’t like knowing that life alone is meaningless. 

This film just completely strips away all hope and leaves us with the simple idea of living. It’s a beautiful POV to explore to be honest since the world we live in becomes more and more chaotic although we live in so-called civilized society.
