A review by Alunauwie
10.0

Written on September 29, 2025

Inspired by Frank's personal loss, Canvas is a powerful short film that explores grief, healing, and rediscovery of purpose through the story of a grandfather who loses his passion for painting after his wife's death. Despite having no dialogue, the film conveys deep emotions through expressive animation, melancholic tones, and a moving score. Its message about embracing loss rather than avoiding it makes Canvas a touching experience suitable for reflective family viewing.
