In 'My Entire High School Sinking Into The Sea,' The Strife's Aquatic
Comics creator Dash Shaw's animated, deadpan-absurdist take on the high-school movie genre is boldly experimental and darkly funny.
You are not going to find a better title for a movie this year than . But the new indie animated film from comics artist Dash Shaw, based on an earlier story by him, is more than its name, or perhaps it's more accurate to say it's exactly as fun as its name. The film is a snarky back-of-the-class doodle about a high school collapsing on the foundation of its own stupidity, with a voice cast hailing exclusively from the cool kids, the film knows how to wield emotional power, exaggerating the anxieties of its adolescent heroes until they become actual threats to their existence.There's nothing else like it for many fathoms.
