Moviegoers are saying
Angel's Egg divides viewers between those who see it as a profound metaphysical masterpiece exploring faith, rebirth, and post-apocalyptic spirituality, and others who find it an overly abstract meditation on a girl protecting an egg. This haunting Mamoru Oshii film creates a Gothic wasteland of biblical allegories, shadow-hunting sequences, and existential dread that reviewers either embrace as transcendent art or dismiss as pretentious symbolism.

If there can be no poetry after Auschwitz, there can be no faith after Hiroshima, in which mankind definitively proved its ability to create Revelation without the help of God. Oshii presents a world bleached by atomic fire, overcast in permanent nuclear winter and…

The guy after destroying the girl's egg: "It's just a prank bro"
James (Schaffrillas)Oshii's most ambitious and metaphysical masterpiece has become, in my book, the best anime feature ever conceived and brought to life. Playing a haunting Gothic and postapocalyptic scenery, we see Bible allegories being interpreted through confused minds so that these…

- Dyl lovedAngel's Egg
Literally nothing happens the whole movie Uhhhh so basically the whole movie is confusing, it has this otherworldly place but doesn’t elaborate on it, has only 2 characters and doesnt give them names, and has the main character wander round the world for 40 minutes of the 70 minute movie doing…
Xavier Castaneda lovedAngel's EggBeautiful, melancholy and slow. This is more of an art experience than a true narrative. Still, there’s so much left to interpretation. If you enjoy symbolism, and beautiful animation, this is for you. Be warned: it’s slow.
Koba lovedAngel's EggReally good avante garde film. In a lot of ways, this movie feels like if ‘FromSoft’ (dark souls) made films instead of games. There’s a lot of contextual world building, little to no dialogue, dark gothic structures, a dying world, and a lot of symbolism. I love it.
- Kareem likedAngel's Egg
So she had to carry an egg that has nothing in it so her faith would get her several ones that contain the human condition and the fragility of hope. Who knows. Really liked the themes and the animation.
Danny likedAngel's Eggits a masterpiece to watch from the perspective of art and how all of it was drawn without use of computer graphic. however plot.. idk man there were too much of it to analyse

Platypus Lord likedAngel's EggEngrossing while also being very dubious and strange. Very enjoyable to dive into all the themes and interpretations.
