Quite the love story to animation and embracing our inner child. Gore and disturbing footage where it needs to be but I didn't really care about the actors 1/2 way through and I failed to care about the animation 3/4 of the way through. It'll do its job. For me it was the staples.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/stopmotion-review-a-character-study-you-will-hardly-forget/ "Stopmotion stands out as an unforgettable, challenging film, intertwining the art of stop-motion animation with the depth of psychological horror in a narrative as complex as it is disturbing. Although its dense story and unconventional approach are elements distant from the tastes of the general audience, it's a testament to creative power and the exploration of meaningful themes. The disgusting makeup and repugnant practical effects combined with an equally unsettling sound design, as well as the intriguing study of an artist's obsession and the search for validation, create a truly memorable cinematic experience. Noteworthy remarks on the exceptional performances of Aisling Franciosi and Caoilinn Springall." Rating: B+
