Every Movie Has a Lesson
Don Shanahan
This animated short has a caressing punch that suits what it set out to lovingly portray.
Bay Area Reporter
Roberto Friedman
A cute manifesto on the best way to pack a suitcase.
The Abstract
Kellie Haulotte
For those who get a chance to watch Negative Space are lucky.
Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX)
Laura Hiros
[A] beautiful animated short. [Full review in Spanish]
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
Rich with detail and featuring a wonderful underwater scene with "underwear jellyfish," this Wes Andersonesque animation is a charmer.
Good Times Santa Cruz
Lisa Jensen
A reserved, yet surprisingly touching tone poem about a father and son who bond over the art of packing luggage.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Dan Lybarger
The impact of this film is like watching a long, slow fuse detonating in a spectacular fashion.
Arts Fuse
Peg Aloi
The voiceover is simple, taken from a poem, and the animation's colorful surreal treatment of claymation is whimsical, inventive, and deeply affecting.
Film Inquiry
Chloe Walker
The stop-motion gives the film a tactility lacking in some of the other shorts, and that gives the devastating final moments even more of an emotional punch.
ArtsATL
Steve Murray
In barely more than five minutes, Space beautifully delineates a father-son relationship, and ends with a perfect, smile-through-tears final line.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Josh Terry
Stop-motion never ceases to look fantastic, and Negative Space is no exception.
Film School Rejects
Christopher Campbell
I don't know if it's meant to have an emotional payoff, but if so it's not effective, perhaps because it's so brief, yet that's fine given the rest of its charms.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Finely wrought and artful, Negative Space tells the story of how a boy and his father bond over the fine art of suitcase packing.
