Waiting on grandma

The Street (1976)

Directed by Caroline Leaf this animated film is based on a short story from the collection of the same name by Mordecai Richler. A young Jewish boy forced to share a bedroom with his sister waits for grandmother to die so he can get his own room.

Despite the very simple nature of the story here this film captures something very real and true about the human relationship with sick relatives and death. I enjoyed the film's honesty and despite it's short run time this film is well worth a watch. The animation style is nice but not overly remarkable.


4/5
