Memoir of a snail completely broke my heart. I’m giving it 5 stars, obviously. I’m still sitting here, eyes full of tears, heart in my throat. Everything about this film is perfect — every frame, every detail, every little movement. The stop-motion, oh my god, it reminded me so much of My Life as a Zucchini, which I adore.

Those 15–20 minutes… I was destroyed. Absolutely destroyed. The loneliness Grace feels, it hits me so hard. And the way she locks herself into her passion for snails, her little world to not feel completely alone… I swear, it reminded me of myself, what I do, what I still do. Finding your refuge in things that might seem small, silly, fleeting… but that hold you together anyway.

Every single tear I shed during this movie, every gasp, every silence… it was worth it. Wow. Just wow.

And btw fuck Ruth

Memoir of a Snail is a different film from the others, and it is a way of saying that animation is not only for children (it seems strange to me that there are still people who think so). It is a devastating but at the same time moving film. The dark humor is one of the best in the film but not as much as the being of each character. Each character is unique and has different qualities that make them unique beings.

You can tell that this was done with a lot of love, Adam Elliot took 8 years to make the movie! It has 135,000 frames in its duration of 1 hour and 34 minutes.

Super recommended and may be the best of 2024 (in animation).

85/100

bitmeyen tubitak projemizi yaparken izledik, cok cirkin oldu ama bitti.
neyse film guzeldi aslında duygusal ve uzucu ama uzulmeye vaktimiz olmadi maalesef.
hakkinda uzun uzun konusurdum, filmin yarisini silikonla karton yapistirirken izledigim icin odağım kaydi o yuzden yapamıyorum.
escinselligi hastalik olarak gören insanlardan nefret ya.
gilbert ve grace'nin yasam farkliliklari bize hayatin birazda sansa bagli oldugunu gosterir mi? eger sansin varsa guzel yaşarsın, yoksa yoktur.
yani aslinda ikiside pek güzel bir hayata sahip degil ama biraz yasam standartı farki var.

Pinky’s letter was way too personal, I felt so seen. Thank you Pinky, I think I’m gonna live my life, life’s not totally uninteresting anyway ❤️‍🩹
