    Very Potent

    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.

    I had no clue.

    My husband just put this on one night. Neither of us knew what it was about. It was so heartbreaking. I was crying and couldn't go to bed with that being the last thing on my mind.

    It ruined my day in 10 minutes

    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.

    If Anything Happens I Love You: 1st short film to make me cry

    Plot

    If Anything Happens I Love You is a beautifully illustrated animated short film that takes us on an extraordinary emotional journey of two parents struggling to overcome the hurt left by a tragic event that leaves their family changed forever. The film is a stunning tale that juxtaposes the excruciating pain one can feel as well as the resilience of the human spirit. If Anything Happens I Love You is a touching experience for anyone who has ever loved and lost.

    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.

    Incredibly moving, needed

    This film may be short but it packs a punch. Incredibly needed today around the conversation of gun safety and grieving over those lost.
