I Lost My Body is my second favorite animated film I have seen this year. It’s also a Netflix release which means it is available to anyone who has it. The animation is breathtaking.

It’s also a Netflix release which means it is available to anyone who has it. The animation is breathtaking. It’s probably the best animation I have seen this year. It all looks hand drawn but flows like a regular movie. Each shot is unique and beautiful. There is always something pleasing to look at. The colors help make each shot stand out. There are a lot of gray shots for flashbacks and more depressing scenes but for more intense scenes, we get more reds, blues, and greens. It helped make the film stand out. The voice acting may be mediocre but the characters and their designs are interesting to look at. Each character has their own specific trait that they follow. The story may be confusing at first but by the end you understand what happened and why. Essentially, we follow the story from two perspectives. One being in the past about a man named Naoufel trying to fall in love and move on from his past while another story, which takes place in the present, is about a mysterious hand that has lost its owner and is trying to return to him. Over the course of the story, we follow both of these characters triumphs and setbacks until their respective stories finally come together. I interpreted the story’s message to be that our past is important to form who we are but we shouldn’t always look back to it but instead to look forward to our future. I felt the music, although repetitive and weird in a handful of scenes, was pretty great. It added to the emotion of each scene and helped each shot feel more unique and beautiful. The script is nothing to hammer home about but it was still pretty good. Overall, I Lost My Body is a great animated film with some fantastic animation, great music, and a cute story and message.… Expand

The bizarre odyssey of a severed hand maybe not for all tastes, specially when is for mature viewers. The idea is original but I noticed a lack of rhythm for getting more interested on plot. ¿Overrated or misunderstood? Your choice.

Soundtrack: 10/10
Animation: 8/10
Story: 0/10

To sum it up, this film is nothing without its soundtrack.

I Lost My Body tells a heartbreaking story about Naofel, a guy with a tragic backstory who just wants to live the normal life that was taken away from him.

The movie made a really good job in making me connect with him and what he passes through the movie and it did it with great visual storytelling and great dialogue. His journey throughout this movie is genuinely interesting. The story is not told in chronological order. It switches back and forth between different situations and stages of his life, but it is with a purpose and not just like at random. Every single scene adds to his character. He feels like a flawed character. If anything this is his movie. This is a character study movie and he is the character that the audience "studies". Not saying that the rest of the characters were underdeveloped (well, besides Gabrielle, the girl, I guess pretty much every other character is just there as a plot device). The animation and visual style fits perfectly the intended tone of the movie. This movie looks beautiful. The score is also beautiful. There were some moments where I thought that the music felt out of place, but nothing that ruins the movie or anything. The rest of the movie has a score that makes already powerful moments even more powerful. I'm glad to see that Netflix is distributing more independent animation, specially a movie like this which is more adult-oriented. This feels like a passion project. This is an animated movie made with love, with creative ideas. Watching a movie like this feels like a breath of fresh air in an industry dominated mostly by Disney. It is definitely one of the best animated films of the year and I highly recommend it.… Expand

To think this movie lost out to Toy Story 4 as best animated feature for 2019. I guess this is what happens when you give your Oscar ballots to four-year old kids. I Lost My Body is a wonderful tale told from the point of view of a missingTo think this movie lost out to Toy Story 4 as best animated feature for 2019. I guess this is what happens when you give your Oscar ballots to four-year old kids. I Lost My Body is a wonderful tale told from the point of view of a missing hand, as it searches Paris for its long lost body. It takes a little while to get into the spirit of the movie but you are richly rewarded as you find out more about the shy Nauofel, to whom the hand belongs. It's the kind of storytelling and animation sorely missed today in mainstream cinema.

I would think we had become so inured to Pixar animated features that people would jump all over a film like this, but it remained largely an art house favorite until Netflix picked it up and made it available for streaming. Thank goodness for that or I might never have seen it.

Part love story, part immigrant tale, part long-lost youth, I Lost My Body speaks beyond the loss of an appendage to the loss of an identity and the attempt to find it again. I loved this story even if it was a bit slow in parts. While not for pre-schoolers, I think most children would get something out of this, as so many of us suffer through the same insecurities regardless of where we come from.… Expand

The movie was too unsettling at times to love. Definitely worth seeing though.

'I Lost My Body' is a poetic animated movie that's so simple, and yet a surreal road trip tipped in melancholic acid.

I like unique movies like this, with complex ideas with nightmarish under tones. The animation is absolutely beautiful, but I couldn't believe the budge was actually pretty small considering what we got, which surprised me the most. Also the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic and it was something I immediately listened to after the movie was over.

Check this one out if you can. I'm being brief about this, because I want you to experience this blind like I did, since it added to my experience.… Expand
