    "It's Such a Beautiful Day" is a deeply moving and profoundly original animated masterpiece. Don Hertzfeldt delivers a lovely artistic expression of the human experience, courageously explored through the lens of mental illness and living under the shadow of death. Though brief and covering a wide strata of the main character Bill's experiences, the film is ultimately, and defiantly, hopeful. A required viewing for anyone seeking animation as truly transcendent art.

    One of the best depictions of mental illness I’ve seen. It’s quite terrifying to ponder the possibility of such illnesses affecting you, especially when you turn old. This movie made me cry. It made my past and childhood flash by my eyes. It made me thankful for the life and good health I have right now. Also the animation and visuals were really good and unique, and the music was fantastic. The way it portrays time is mesmerising, especially at the end of the movie. I wasn’t expecting a 60 minute movie to take me on such a wild ride.
