The Feel-Good Part

The movie’s feel-good factor is its mind-bending plotline and distinctive animation, which takes the audience on a roller coaster journey. The psychological horror element is used effectively in the film, and the suspense of what will happen next is kept throughout. You haven’t seen anything like this before, together with the protagonist’s two personality split.

The Disappointing Factor

The animation in the movie should have been better, and some of the sequences have low-quality visual effects. The animation in the film is suitable for video games but not for the movie business.

In-Depth Analysis

Director Kim Hye -mi’s vision is unique in the animation age and storyline that can be seen in the movie, and what sets it apart from other animated films is the narrative it’s attempting to present, as well as the powerful storyline and animation that fully completes it. Some scenes in the film demonstrate that Korean cinema has incredible content.

Star Power

As it’s an animated movie there’s no star power in particular. The protagonist is the one that just carries the whole movie.

Overall Opinion

Climbing is a visually stunning experience that will have you fascinated till the very end, and if you enjoy gloomy animated films, this is the movie for you.
