A young boy moves to a new neighborhood and falls in love, for the first time, with the much older girl next door.

Reviews
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
boblipton BLIK is a very interesting cartoon about a young boy's infatuation with an older girl. She is kind to him and he falls in love with her. However, she has a motorcycle-riding boyfriend, triggering a jealous reaction.What makes this cartoon interesting is not just that there is no dialogue; there are no faces. The characters are human, but the oval areas where their faces should be are left blank. Emotions and thoughts are communicated solely through positions and movements. The people who produced this did a clever job in making it seem natural. The cartoon begins in long takes and camera angles which obscure the face. By the time you notice, you are already involved in the story.Although I usually dislike cartoons that show ordinary human beings, the decision to make the characters faceless also makes their humanity a necessity. The result is a very effective cartoon and that rare beast: an experimental film that works on its own terms.
