The ending made me cry

Beautiful film, in no way is it a waste of time pretentious animation. It's like being depressed and dead and born for the first time and in extreme joy about the universe's existence all at the same time.

Existential Crisis, Memories Shattered into pieces, a Stoic depression even, Brilliant.

One of the best ways you can spend your precious 1 hour. Great, simplistic art style with good sound FX, in no way gets boring or lose its pace, definitely worth to watch.Makes the audience constantly think about nearly every sentence, The stick man style and whats is being told in the story of the movie contradicts and it left me in an odd situation, i felt ''these subjects that the movie works on are way too serious and harsh for a movie with this simplistic art, it is awesome. Simple joys of life, a dark past, Schizophrenia and Alzheimer ( concept of reality and time getting destroyed) and in finale scene in just 3-4 minutes of time a huge question about life is answered. 9/10 could've been a 10 out of 10 with some minor changed or add-ups.

My all time favorite

It's such a beautiful day is a gorgeous film. It is so hard to review this movie without including integral spoilers so it boils down to this- it is a very emotional experience. As the description explains, it follows a man named Bill dealing with an illness that is invading every aspect of his life. The movie is a raw examination of life, mental health, and death in a unique way- using very simple animation, camera shots, and narration to tell his story. Bill is a simple but relatable character that you root for by the end of the movie- you just want everything to go right for him. The music is beautiful, the story is beautiful, the combination of both actual video and animation is so interesting and perfectly matches the theme of the movie. I have shown this film to multiple family members and friends with different tastes in films and they all have enjoyed it.
