At first, I thought "Deep Sea" was a mess. It's a relentless explosion of color and frantic action that feels random and exhausting. I was ready to write it off as a "Spirited Away" wannabe. But then the ending hits, and everything clicks into place. It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking story about childhood depression that is powerfully emotional and incredibly creative. The unique animation, blending CGI with traditional Chinese ink painting, is absolutely stunning. This isn't a movie for little kids, and it demands patience, but stick with it. The payoff is more than worth it. An absolute masterpiece
