Late Afternoon

There is a lot of stuff out there about aging and approaching the inevitable. This little animated feature involves an old woman who sit in a chair. He daughter is seeing to her needs and apparently packing her few possessions. The woman drops in and out of reality, reminded of her younger days and her growing as a person. There are swirls of color and confrontations with fear, recognitions of shortcomings and missed opportunities. Ultimately, it is a look at life in all its imperfections.

I cannot believe that this lost to Bao. It definitely deserved the Oscar.

So sad but so good! One of the best animated shorts. I hope it wins the Oscar!

A tender, loving and absorbing film, which holds on to your attention until the very end. This animation hits the spot on every level and leaves you wondering about yourself as you follow the character swims into the ocean of memories and trying to grab onto one of them and explore it once more as she's putting puzzles together to arrive at anything, something or someone.

It is a source of emotions. From the ages of the lead character to the fluidity of animation. Most important, it is a short film about yourself.The story of Emily front to a tea cup and a biscuit. And her long travel across herself. Sure, "Late Afternoon" could have many deffinitions. But important is its special status of key to yourself. The waves of emotions. And the pieces of beach, tea, biscuit becoming almost material. Like the final hug.
