Cast

No cast, no dialogue and made by people off my radar

Verdict

It's common knowledge that I've cried to five movies but short films until now hadn't garnered that reaction. If Anything Happens I Love You had me standing throughout, transfixed to the screen and blubbing like a newborn.

Generally I dislike this arthouse animation style but here the content is so endearing, so well made and so close to home I simply didn't care about this and took it for what it is. And what is it? A masterpiece.

This is simply wonderful and one of the best things on Netflix, perhaps even the greatest short film ever made. It destroyed me, I cried my eyes out and yet announce that everyone should give this 13 minutes of their life.

Rants The price of American freedom? Countless dead children so that Joe McShootface can have his manhood extension. If you're going to allow everyone to have an item that serves the singular purpose of killing others can we at least give them free mental healthcare and news that doesn't tell them to hate everyone? For crying out loud people, what did you think was going to happen? I hate guns more than I hate any type of person but even I wouldn't trust myself with one. No guns = No mass shootings = No children catching bullets to the face #simples

The Good

• Wonderfully made
• Powerful and heartfelt
• A message than resonates
• Simply beautiful

The Bad

• Still not keen on this style of animation.

The parents are sad. The reason behind their sadness is revealed. Now you and the parents are sad. The end.

I'm not used to watch short movies but I would recommend this one, it made me stop and think about all the families that go through what the parents in the movie experience.

This short film is so amazing and so powerful especially for being 12 minutes. i was crying for like 30 mins after i watched this lol

The music and images create an emotional roller coaster that everybody should experience. Sympathy in the beginning, empathy in the end, all in 12 minutes. Well worth the watch.

This short was devastating to watch. It feels like it is a story that will ring true for some many families and that is the absolute worst part.

There is a scene in the middle that is just so haunting and upsetting, it was really really emotional.

The art style works really well with it too. It is almost sketch-like and the colours are used so effectively to portray the emotions that people are feeling.

The score is also really great too. It works so well with everything else that I have mentioned.

I would definitely watch this. It is really effective and I definitely would expect it to get nominated next year for animated short.
