Flawed
Description
Flawed is nothing less than a beautiful gift from
Andrea Dorfman’s vivid imagination, a charming little film about very big
ideas. Dorfman has the uncanny ability to transform the intensely personal
into the wisely universal. In Flawed she deftly
traces her encounter with a potential romantic partner, questioning her
attraction and the uneasy possibility of love. But, ultimately, Flawed
is less about whether girl can get along with boy than whether girl can accept
herself, imperfections and all.
In many ways, Flawed is both an
exquisite tribute to the art of animation and a loving homage to
storyboarding, a time-honoured way of rendering scenes while pointing the way
to the dramatic arc of the tale. Here Dorfman lets her colourful storyboards
shape up into the very content of the film. The resulting effect is pure and
fresh, as if we were watching the birth not only of love but of the film
itself.
