Deep Sea

The experience is a rush of colors at its best when it dives headfirst into a more unrestrained vision to leave us adrift in its beauty. It feels thrillingly alive even with its rough edges as it immerses us in a world of both dreams and nightmares. 

Deep Sea‘s lavish visuals bring to life its fantastical aquatic daydream.

An exhilarating, genuinely poignant and profound emotional journey. It's one of the best animated films of the year.

Through animation, Tian is able to mix visual styles to dizzying degrees, creating a swirling and whirling dervish of color that is as visually complex and overpowering as it is guileless, often to the detriment of audience investment.

Xiaopeng Tian’s Deep Sea features the most mesmerizing animation since ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Deep Sea has some consistency issues in terms of tone and narrative, but it is beyond beautiful and makes the most of the 3D animation to convey its vast settings.

DEEP SEA is one of the most unusual and insane animated films I have ever seen. A brightly colored frenzy of images that is almost impossible to resist and that is not only incredibly stylish, but also unpacks big feelings and fortunately also earns them.

Beyond the beautiful images, Deep Sea takes on an impressionistic visual palette. For a CG animated feature, there are a few features that feel wonderfully creative.

With stunning visuals that combine photo-real animation and a jaw-dropping color palette, Deep Sea is the kind of movie that is very easy on the eyes and boldly plants its flag in the larger lexicon of modern animation because of its visuals.

Though aimed at children, it’s so beautiful that viewers of all ages will find themselves enraptured.
