I Lost My Body Reviews

What results is a film of incredible insight and beauty wrapped up in a somewhat gory and unnerving package.

| Original Score: A | May 1, 2024

An endearing meditation on physical and emotional displacement, childhood loss, and loneliness wrapped up in a beautiful animated style.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 22, 2022

Art is rewarded by patience. I Lost My Body was the biggest surprise I got from a movie in 2019. It took me completely off-guard and made me feel stunned by the end. Beautiful animation, heart-gripping music. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 7, 2022

Rather than macabre, this story of a severed hand is a touching journey for human connection. Though much of this film may feel familiar, the distinct point of view makes for an otherworldly view of trauma and healing.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 19, 2022

I Lost My Body is a lyrical and magnificently animated meditation on what it means to be human.

| Apr 6, 2022

Sounding bizarre yet? Im not going to convince you otherwise, but like so many of the quirks of French cinema, the film weaves together a thoughtful story to question how we can navigate our lives as individuals philosophically, but also literally.

Heartbreaking tragedy blends beautiful animation with witty silent comedy...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2021

I was surprised by how emotionally invested I became in the well-being of a disembodied hand.

The endlessly innovative and touching French animated film follows a severed hand looking for its human across Paris. It is a breathtaking sensory experience.

| Oct 28, 2020

There's no doubt that this is a film with a soul. With its 'leap of faith' analogy into the unknown, it's an artful reminder of embracing change and resiliency that accompanies heartbreak and joy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 3, 2020

A nimble and achingly rendered exploration of loss, suffused with a profound longing for wholeness and happiness.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 3, 2020

I was pleasantly surprised to see 'I Lost My Body', the French animated film released on the Netflix platform. It is unpredictable, simple and very poetic. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 30, 2020

The animation offers a study in contrasts as it wraps the fantastical elements of the story in the real, the past with the present, and the frenzy of city life with the quiet urban isolation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2020

An unorthodox animated poem about love. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 8, 2020

This is a coming-of-age story told with a melancholic slowness, that never judges its main character for the poor choices he makes nor his circumstances for crushing his spirit.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 8, 2020

A clever premise overcomes occasionally cheap-looking animation.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 9, 2020

It is a different kind of tale about young love. Intimately told and drawn, it is well worth the 81 minute time investment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2020

A rarity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 10, 2020

A mature piece of animation that resonates in unusual ways.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 6, 2020

The animation here is not, in and of itself, extraordinary. The story, however, is as unusual as it sounds and just as riotously inventive.
