Please Say Something

The perfect mix between "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Ratatouille".

Using digital technology (the so-called 3D animation), David O'Reilly delivers one of the best love stories that cats and mouses, men and women (lovers and arch enemies at the same time) could ever have in the history of short and feature film.

With treacherous and playful editing, an aesthetic full of contrasts and killer cliché-kind-of-lines, O'Reilly deserves more than millions of stars and countless thumbs up.

There is no wonder why this short film has earned so many awards around the world. Highly recommended for the hopelessly in love with love

Watch it ! Watch it and love it ! there's no other choice

It's a beautiful, oddly futuristic animated love story told in ten minutes. These ten minutes contain much of what one needs in order to build a great and effective short film, and plenty more. Stylistically, the film is fearlessly bizarre and oft-experimental. It combines the (oft-blackly) humorous w/the heartbreaking w/the uplifting. It's tender and tough and totally sincere, and definitely got better and better as it went along for me. At first, it kind of felt mildly underwhelming I guess, and I cannot really explain why, but by the time I was like only two minutes in, all of that washed away completely and I practically fell in love along w/the two protagonists.

This short, computer animated by David O'Reilly, was mentioned to me by Amid on Cartoon Brew as one that was given an award in one of those animation festivals. It depicts a mouse and a cat in a marriage that seems troubled and takes place in various times, past and future, that seems to be completely abstract concerning whether anything depicted in the entire 10-minute computer abstract designs are happening or not. The mouse is a writer so he, or maybe she since it's not too clear which gender is which animal, spends lots to times writing while the cat just walks to various places. There's also a hospital and a scarf that comes into play. Like I implied, not everything makes sense but by the end, you may get some inkling what is meant by all the random happenings depicted. So on that note, I'm giving Please Say Something a 6...
