Negative Space Ratings & Reviews
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.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Josh Terry
Stop-motion never ceases to look fantastic, and Negative Space is no exception.
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.
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.
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.
