Le Verrier

It indeed is the reward of loyal fan. Back in 2016 me and my bestie read a News article about The Glassworker, we got really excited about it cause we have always been mesmerized by ghibli studio's work and it was inspired by it.

Then fast forward in 2024 when it released we were already working successful job holders and it became the first movie we saw with our own money.

Never regretted a single moment about it it was all worth the wait.

THE CHARACTERS I THINK ARE INSPIRED BY GHIBLI STUDIO'S WORK THE MOST: JINN= Calcifer from the howl's moving castle Alieez= Arrietty from Arrietty Vincent= Seiji from whisper of the heart Rest of them 😁 I'll tell when I watch it next time.

It was an amazing experience watching this and since it was hand drawn, every single Frame felt like it was drawn with utmost effort. The details were amazing, the voice acting was amazing, the characters, storyline, and everything was worth the time and money.

Altho I overall Loved it and would recommend everyone to watch it, The ending was a bit off.... Like it felt a bit unexpected, as in "Wait what?" But it wasn't bad tho, and I hope they keep on making other such films and maybe even anime series in Pakistan. I'm sure other people would also have a lot of ideas, and with this movie, I hope they gain motivation and make their own movies as well.

Even tho it was the first ever Pakistani animated movie, and hand drawn as well, It was enough to satisfy!

The animation was hands-off amazing. The visuals were stunning and appealing, evident of the amount of effort and hark work put into each frame of the movie. The animators did a great job capturing the essence of Ghibli films. The music really brought the viewing experience to the next level, literally got goosebumps hearing some of them.

However... the voice acting could have been somewhat better. The delivery of the dialogues felt a bit off because of the British accent, considering the characters were set in Pakistan. Some scenes felt as if a certain frame was missing, messing with the consistency while some had very fluid animation. As for the storyline, it seemed rather messy and confusing. The theme and storyline could have been portrayed a bit better which would've enhanced the experience greatly.

Overall really enjoyed the movie, would recommend watching it, and really respect Usman Riaz's artistic view and effort on this movie. Creating a hand-drawn animated film in Pakistan is not a small feat and he did an amazing job for such a big project. Looking forward to more of his works!

BEFORE u get angry, read my review till last and think about it.

The glass worker is a nice movie, not gonna lie and i have been following it up for last 4-5 years. But i knew from the start, as this is Usman Riaz first movie the story will have problems and oh oh boy it had alot. The ending was confusing to say the least, as many of the plot of the movie was missing and the movie rapped it up pretty quickly. It also didnt felt "original as Usman Riaz was inspired by Ghibli, which actually made the film feel like "too much" inspired by Ghibli. I know its his first movie but if he had been original with it , it would have been better and also made it more natural and calming rather then rapping it up quickly. IF you actually wanna see what a "MASTER PIECE" looks like, (as people here are screaming that this movie is, although it isnt) Go watch HAYOA MIYAZAKI first film "Nausicaä The Valley of Wind". Or "the castle in the sky", then you will truly understand the art of animation and the beauty of a true master piece story.

The reviews here are totally wrong saying it is the "best movie ever", I have seen alot, i mean ALOT of animated movies and especially Japanese, as i like there 2D natural artwork. I am pretty choosy about my animated movies and this one was a easy 7/10. The main reason being that is, although the animation was beautiful and nice, but the story lacked alot and kinda felt amateurly written + not to forget the Urdu dubbing of the movie, which didnt had any natural feelings. I will highly recommend watching the movie in ENGLISH rather then URDU, because the original script of the movie is in English, due to this the Urdu one felt like a google translation lmao.

Pretty good movie overall. Many elements that I liked, for example the animation was amazing, especially for something that is produced in Pakistan. Could clearly tell that they put a lot of effort into it, and influence of Ghibli films could be seen. They nailed the glass working part. The animation seemed to be the main focus of the movie. The voice acting was alright, I didn't like the voice actor voicing the female protagonist (I watched the English version, maybe Urdu was better). The story itself wasn't too original, but was alright, and basically just got the job done. At least they didn't try to force tear-jerker moments for no reason. Good, solid movie, which is altogether unexpected from Pakistani cinema, hopefully this is one of many actual quality movies that we release.
