Half-Life

Amazing Film
The movie is amazingly sophisticated, complex, and multifaceted, and yet its many story threads were woven masterfully together with an underlying unity and beauty.

I loved this film.
This film was one of the most imaginative films I've seen recently. The animation and cinematography were beautiful. Thought provoking themes and powerful acting.

A Beautiful Film Full of Life..
I saw this film at Sundance earlier this year and it quickly became one of my favorites from the festival. Ms. Phang deftly handles drama, comedy science fiction, and animation by weaving them into a vivid and imaginative tale of love, lost, and hope. The main characters in the film are finely crafted, exuding a sense of life, beauty and desperation that radiates the realism of how a family losing its grip on life and reality would react in a decaying world. The films Waking Life by Richard Linklater and The Ice Storm by Ang Lee quickly come to mind in describing Half-Life. This is truly inspired film making that is not only bold and daring, but of great depth. I highly recommend Half-Life to anyone who still believes in the power of film. I hope to see more from this director in the future as she has proven with her debut that the spirit of independent film making is alive and well.
