The Windshield Wiper

Whilst working his way through an entire pack of cigarettes, a man sits at a corner table in a café and ponders "what is love?". What follows is a series of romantic (and not so) scenarios in which people spend time together, search online for their ideal partner, imagine what life might be like were things different - and all augmented by the general chatter and conversation taking place around him. Some of that chatter is quite profound, some of it - well let's just say there's plenty of hot air in there, too - though that's not restricted to the physical venue: there's plenty of vacuous phone chat included too. There's one quite poignant scene featuring a text conversation that sees a semblance of commitment met with dots, then not. More dots then not, then a read receipt - LOL!! Is the grass always greener or might true love actually exist for any of those seeking it? Are they truly seeking it anyway? The animation styles alter a little from time to time and that adds a richness to this quite interesting look at what makes us tick, emotionally and sexually - and it's not always pleasing or enduring what emerges from our dalliances with "love".

Just some moments of love, told through some beautiful animation but makes you feel, why love is important and how complex it is to love aand be loved.

It makes you think "while" you're watching it but then you don't walk away with anything to discuss afterwards which is the real measure of success for any film. It's visually interesting for a variety of reasons that have to do with the colors, juxtaposition and editing. Love is ill defined and painful and risky . It's not a life affirming film that inspires you to take a chance on love unless you're wearing an Advanced Bomb Suit (ABS) like Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker".

I have to start by saying that I don't agree with any of the reviews so far. I don't think it's meh nor am I blown away.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, it makes you think about yourself and your own life. After all, what is love to you? I'm sure you could identify some scenes as romantic or caring and others not really. Either way it's impossible to be indifferent to it.

The animation is good but for a short animated movie that relies enterely on visuals to get across their message, it could be better.

Overall, a good animated short that may even win best animated short oscar.
