Don Hertzfeldt – Lily And Jim (1997)

A He Said/She Said buildup to a blind date between two somewhat insecure people.

Then there’s an animated date, featuring lots of dialogue (some bland, some out of place, some somewhat interesting) and a bunch of revealing and sometimes amusing thought bubbles.

It’s sort of sweet that they both seem to be trying (the guy’s thought bubbles aren’t QUITE as sweet, but he seems decent otherwise) and I found myself hoping for these two stick figure cartoon characters to get together.  Rowr.

Perhaps I’m too close to the subject, but it was a bit sad nearing and at the end and it actually made me feel…hence the grade.  Recommended to anyone socially/romantically inept/confused/depressed/anxious.
