When trying to figure out what exactly ‘The Red Turtle’ was about, I kinda realized it was about everything. It addressed life, death, love, hate, adolescence, curiosity, the human race’s reliance on nature and nature’s reliance on the human race. It tells these topics with such care and fragility that while it may be dense, it stills feels incredibly atmospheric. And it does all of this under beautifully immersive animation and a runtime of only an hour and 20 minutes.
