Film Information

Returning to theaters for the first time since 2012, It’s Such a Beautiful Day has been hailed by critics and audiences alike as one of the best animated films of all time. Painstakingly blending traditional hand-drawn animation and experimental optical effects, the film follows stick figure Bill’s struggle to put together his shattered psyche. Don Hertzfeldt’s newest animated film ME is a 22-minute musical odyssey about trauma, technology, and the retreat of humanity into itself.

Reviews

“Hertzfeldt’s work is sometimes elusive in its simplicity, but it can be profound as well; with his humor, darkness, philosophical yearning, and insistence on drawing every line himself, he may be the only legitimate successor to Charles M. Schulz.”

J.R. Jones

Chicago Reader

“This 71-minute compendium is nothing short of revelatory.”

Simon Abrams

Village Voice

“Considering that he’s a stick figure, Bill, the main character in “It’s Such a Beautiful Day,” sure does have a complex internal life. And this animated film by Don Hertzfeldt does an amazing job of making you feel it, in all its sadness, terror and transcendence.”
