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…

Leticia FernandesMar 4, 2014"Keep precious things inside you, Or you will lose them." Destruction of society through the insurmountable forces of our technological world. Gazing out at eternal darkness. Hope in the form of the birth of a savior. Living in a land that has become so separate from…

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…

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.
TribianiRamoray lovedAngel's EggRating: 8.5/10 I kept seeing this cryptic anime in video essays, so I finally decided to experience the weirdness myself. I love this; it’s a gorgeous, almost silent dreamscape that just washes over you if you let it. What Worked: • Amano’s desolate, monochrome world honestly feels like a moving…

The power of eternal devotion Throughout my life I have viewed the possibilities of what many would call profound devotion. No separation or doubt stops what many will believe until the bitter end. Even in the case of Angel’s egg, I feel like it’s surrealism really makes it unfortunate but unique…
Evan likedAngel's EggThis is such a bizarre movie. I thinks it’s like a faith questioning twist on Noah’s Ark which was pretty interesting. There’s almost no dialog in this movie and a lot of it is left up to interpretation. I enjoyed the animation quite a bit and I like a weird movie here and there.
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.

8/17/26: Loooonnnggggg slowwwwwwwwww ponnnnderous movie. I wish I liked it. I got so tired, and started daydreaming about other things. Not much really happened, and it looked cool, but I could look at a book if I wanted to see still images.
Aidan White likedAngel's Egg7.5/10 i don’t know if i could tell you a thing that happened in this movie but i couldn’t look away from the dazzling animation and scoring - beautiful cinematography i just wish this movie had a little substance, at all
Kareem likedAngel's EggSo 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.
