Ignacio Ferreras's traditionally animated Wrinkles is a beautiful, subtle horror movie about the rigors of old age, made all the more horrifying because it will happen to all of us fortunate enough to live a long life. Read full review

An exceptional animated feature from Spain, Wrinkles imaginatively and sensitively explore one of the major issues confronting most of the developed world: how to look after senior citizens in a rapidly aging population. Read full review

Unfolding in simple yet wonderfully expressive hand-drawn frames, the film’s unsparingly observant plot depicts the slide into senility with empathy and imagination. Read full review

Although nothing here quite matches the moving, life-in-five-minutes montage in Pixar’s “Up,” one swooping flashback sequence comes very close. Read full review

Its shuffling pace and basic animation all add to the heartbreak as the protagonists slowly unravel, even as they fight to keep a grip. Read full review

The film doesn’t wallow in grief; it’s a thoughtful and nuanced portrait of a stage of life we often choose not to see. Read full review

Is good to say that "Wrinkles" was released in 2011, being quite original at that time. The movie shows the life in its most difficult moment, exploring the friendship, the horrible Alzheimer and the strength (yes, stregth) of the old people. What is beautiful in the old people is that they are the people who have more experience and memories than anybody. - Imagine yourself as an old person, remembering everything that you've lived and knowing that is close to the end. It's a little disturbing and nostalgic and "Wrinkles" gives you these feelings. An amazing movie. (Sorry for the english mistakes).… Expand
