Being and Nothingness is an animated film with no discernible narrative. Peaceful scenes of daily life, rendered in colored pencil, pastel, and watercolor textures, unfold slowly, inviting the audience to appreciate the imagery with quiet contemplation. It might sound monotonous, but the delicate yet lifelike drawing style is appealing in its own right, with whimsical variations across different subjects. The gentle blending of colors, emerging when translucent human characters overlap, is mesmerizing. (KIM Bonyeon | Programmer of Cinematheque Seoul Art Cinema, Film Critic)
