Well-made and addresses a topic that many can relate to - anxiety.

The story follows a girl with anxiety disorder who tries to break out of her shell by going to a party, but once she gets there - everything seems to be at odds with her reality. She escapes to the bathroom and just as she's freaking out, a woman she met earlier walks in, hands her a tissue for her tears and things take a 180 degree turn.

The 2D animation is well executed with intense colors that emphasize the girl's moods. I felt anxious just watching it. I think this is very relatable for college or even high school students and it does offer some hope at the end. Sometimes all we need to get us out of our heads is a friend. In today's world, so many young people have suffered from the result of isolation - going back to the social distancing during COVID-19 - and to some degree, lost their social skills. Finding ways to connect with others, starting with someone handing you a tissue when you are crying, is a great first step.

The film's message is about the need for human interaction.

I give "Evil Eye" 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
