Stopmotion

The first half is mostly just functional... But when Stopmotion gets gross, it gets good.

Stopmotion is a strange, disturbing, exhilaratingly perverse film, which, like stop-motion itself, brings dead objects to life, and vice versa.

It’s a wildly inventive spurt of bug-eyed British gore that pulls the innards out of the creative process. Quite literally, at some points.

An undeniably grisly but ultimately tedious tiptoe through the genre tropes.

“Stopmotion” isn’t perfect, but each element moves in lock step to forge a deeply troubling intimacy between Ella and her repellent figurines.

Franciosi works at just the right temperature – patient yet revealing early on&#59; terrifyingly deranged later. She’s a perfect fit for Morgan’s morbid vision…

Aisling Franciosi is outstanding in Stopmotion, Robert Morgan’s creative horror debut about an animation director.

Style and substance are one in the same here, and that is what makes “Stopmotion” so captivating.

Telling a familiar story of a young person struggling to separate art from reality whilst dealing with trauma but doing so in an intriguing way, Stopmotion is successful in creating an eerie atmosphere, and is helmed by a fantastic lead performance.
