Moviegoers are saying
Angel's Egg emerges as a polarizing masterpiece that transforms biblical allegory into haunting post-apocalyptic poetry, with audiences either hailing it as 'the greatest anime film ever made' or dismissing it as pretentious. This Mamoru Oshii creation divides viewers between those who find profound spiritual metaphor in its wordless imagery and those who see it as overanalyzed art house fare about 'a girl who really loves eggs.'

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…

10/10, I don’t get it
HALOshii'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…

Beautiful, 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.
Dyl lovedAngel's EggLiterally 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…
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.
