Masaaki Yuasa, 2017
It has 3 distinct arcs and at the end of each one it felt like the movie was ending so the start of each of these chapters always feel like it drags a bit but they always ended up taking the film somewhere I loved more and the actual ending is super, super cute. It might be Yuasa's most restrained film visually, which is to say, much less restrained than anyone else and at first I was a bit disappointed by it but I get why it needed to be that way and it didn't effect my enjoyment at all by the end.

David Robert Mitchell, 2018
Basically just a parody of Hitchcock-esque mysteries, which does have thematic purpose in being that but also just isn't interesting in that regard. The mystery aspects are extraordinarily surface level and nothing really has any weight or atmosphere to it. I came around a bit more towards the end as the themes solidify and a good handful of fun bits occur.

Conan le Cilaire, 1981
They sure did buy some fascinating footage with the whaling & dolphin fishing footage being especially nuts and the opening and closing credits were actually pretty cool. Some of it felt a bit pointless, even for what this is and the instantaneous scene transitions were a bit frustrating.
