Zoom (2015)
7/10
A neat and interesting mixture and live action and animation

If you enjoy the works of Charlie Kauffman ("Synecdoche, New York") and Richard Linklater (Particularly his dreamlike animated film "Waking Life", which seems to be one of the major influences of this movie) then you will also find a lot to like in "Zoom", being one of the most atypical feature-length film I've seen during the recent years, alternating three parallel story lines where the limits between reality and fiction are not so clear as they might seem on the beginning.

I personally liked a lot the art style used on the animated sequences. I found it to be quite elegant and pleasant to look at, with a lovely use of colors.

Even if the overall result isn't as memorable as Ari Folman's "The Congress," "Zoom" is still an interesting, cleverly done experience worth of recognition, especially in times like these, where mainstream cinema seems way too afraid to take any kind of risk at the moment of defying the conventional forms of narrative.
