Angel's Egg Ratings & Reviews
- Doc Worm3d agoA haunting, quiet and contemplative Rorschach test of a film. Worth sitting down and dissecting OR perfect for putting on in the background while you do chores around your house.
- cyberpu7October 7, 2025Its so inspiring of an animation and as a concept that it finds itself being referenced to in numerous contemporary media whether it be in film, art or video games. They truly do not make this kind of stuff anymore. Mamoru Oshii proved early on in his career that he was and is one of the greatest pioneering minds of anime in the same vein as Hideaki Anno and Hayao Miyazaki. Watch the 4k remaster when it releases! I know I will.
- NonPlayableContentDecember 14, 2025This is high art, meaning you should be at least 2 joints deep to enjoy it fully. Near silent and haunting with just enough to get you thinking. Then the story is clearer and the world with dead giants feels real and familiar somehow, only on multiple viewings can I give a better review.
- ProfSolonAugust 19, 2025Freaking outstanding. I'm super confused, but uh, it was utterly amazing i am baffled.
- ehrlic8November 21, 2025Like walking through a dream that can't be deciphered, you can't, you won't understand the hidden meanings. It's clear there is something there but if you try to figure it out you'll end up waking up.
- GnomeSliceNovember 20, 2025Saw the 4K remaster in theatre. I'll think on it. New favourite 'person falling into water' scene.
- TrickermandSeptember 5, 2025Above all, this movie is an art piece. Not in the pretentious "this movie is art" way, but in the sense that it's like staring at a panting for 1h20m. This movie is boring. No, really, it's /boring/. But that doesn't mean it's not worth watching, I loved it, but keeping focus is hard, and focus should be kept. Don't watch this if you can't commit to being bored for the duration, because then you will get nothing from it. Do watch it in place of going to a museum today, and have an experience.
