Genuinely touching and sweet. My only warning is that there's an extended sequence of looking at a (claymation) cat corpse after it's hit by a car. Everything else was very thoughtfully constructed to give most shots some kind of "pop," however minor, to pull you through a movie that knows it's pretty slow. But of course it's slow. It's a meditation on impossible love, the struggle of communication, and the limitations of identity. The level of detail on the various telephone poles is kind of astonishing, especially where it crosses over into how they show personality. Same for the human characters. Some of those facial animations wereextremely good without hitting the uncanny valley. What a claymation achievement.

All I can say is that if "a love story about a telephone pole" doesn't turn you off, you should check it out. I think I had had it on my watchlist for a few years.
