TORMENT- A LEGO Bullying Film | Brick à Brack

When I read the title of this animation "TORMENT - A LEGO Bullying Film", I initially thought that this animation was advocating FOR bullying, which I was NOT okay with.
But then comes the first title card. The opening quote comes from "Norman Kordei" who I had never heard of before. After googling him, I still don't really know who he is. But his quote outlines that bullying is bad. Wow. My mind is blown. My expectations are subverted. A twist of events indeed. Well played.
This animation is very well made with beautiful set designs. My one complaint would be that the characters speak in a weird mumbling way which may be considered insensitive to people with speech impediments.

Important and relevant subject. Well constructed storyline. Very good animation. A long brickfilm like this one is a very demanding task. Congratulations!

+ Fantastic lighting all around!
+ Great motion on the figures and especially thrown objects
+ Excellent use of music and sound to convey the emotions in the scene. The tones of the "dialogue" are probably the most effective part.

I can't think of anything I'd change in this film, frankly. It's hard to address bullying without crossing over into risky media territory, but I think this film gets the idea across nicely, tangibly, and effectively. Overall, a phenomenal film!

Great cinematography and animation. Some nice colour grading as well, which is uncommon for brickfilms. It's a commonly told story but you did a fairly good job telling it. I think the text at the start was up for a *tad* too long. I also think some of the smear frames were a little distracting - they should be something you feel rather than see, if that makes sense. Excellent work, however - this film looks and feels great.

This was a really powerful film, with some truly great visual storytelling. I love the cinematography and set design and it really helped sell the story. One of my favourite scenes was the bedroom scene. You managed to convey his internal struggles in a cinematic, yet highly emotional way.

You could take any frame from this film and admire just how great it looks, and I really appreciate that. Just because it's Lego doesn't mean it can't look and feel like a really cinematic work of art. You also managed to convey the story and what the character was going through really well.

There was a lot of hype building up for this film before it's release and it did not disappoint. You managed to subvert already high expectations and make your best film yet!
