"Coda" is a 9-minute Irish short film from 2 years ago. The writer and director is Alan Holly and as neither he nor his co-writer Rory Byrne were very experienced when they make this I must say they came up with a good result overall. This short film has lessons and references on life and death from start to finish as well as on addiction, regret and other serious issues, so it's not one for small children to watch. Occasionally it reminded be a bit of the Irish full feature film in terms of the style, especially the scenes in the park. There is a slight touch of horror to the way death looks like. All in all, I enjoyed this film, even if i probably did not understand even 75% of it. The animation is not for everybody I am sure. The story is fine and pretty smart (almost to the degree of pretentious), but there are moments of greatness missing for me to be really enthusiastic about this movie. Still, all in all, also taking the fact that Holly is still a rookie into account, it's not a bad work. Recommended. This won actually a couple awards and also managed an Annie nomination (Animation Oscars). Oh yeah, Brendan Gleeson's son is in it as well. (not the one from "Six Shooter".
