Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

First, this movie seemed a sad story, but finally I found it was a heart-warming story. Somehow, the old couple lives in an upside-down house, that is to say the wife lives on the floor, and the husband lives on the ceiling. It shows their minds. Their minds crossed each other because they lived together for many years. But he tried to make their relationship restart, but failed. Then she noticed his thoughts. I think this story is very common in drama or movie. However, this is different from others in some ways. First, the setting is different. As I said, they live in different space. This is a very interesting point. Second, there is no dialog. Non dialog movie must describe their feeling by the sight. This is very difficult way, but this movie succeed in it. I also like her way of approaching him. It is true that there is only that way, but I was so moved.

This story is that an elderly couple restore the bonds of marital affection. The setting of this film is a little strange, because the couple lives upside down in a house. We can't know the reason why they live like that. The husband walks on the floor and his wife walks on the ceiling. Their house flies in the air and it goes up and down by turns. At the beginning, the couple quarrel about trifles. Their life quite looks inconvenient and it irritates them. One day the husband finds old shoes which his wife worn on their wedding day. He tries to mend and give to her. A good point of this film is how the couple reconcile and how they deepen their ties in a strange situation. I think this film shows us the importance of love and the weight of our connection whatever the circumstances.

"Head over Heels" is a perfect example of a short film that is basically good in terms of aspect, but great not really. It is director Timothy Reckart's third work as writer and director and managed an Academy Award nomination, but lost to the wonderful "Paperman". "Head over Heels" deals with an elderly couple whose relationship has cooled down to the extent that basically each of the two are living still at the same house, but also in their own world somehow. The director used gravity to display this. The woman walks on one layer, the man on completely another. It is all upside down. However, during these 10 minutes, the two manage to grow closer again. Sadly, it's quite a challenge to overcome that huge obstacle which became bigger and bigger in the last years. Still, their will and creativity helps them to solve the issue at the end and the two are re-united again. It's a sweet little happy ending, which is probably also the best part of the film. I liked this one, even if the animation style is not really my favorite. Good to see it got some recognition at the Oscars and I hope Reckart can build a career out of that and maybe direct a feature film at some point. I recommend "Head over Heels".

'HEAD OVER HEELS': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five) 2012 Oscar nominated Animated short film about a married couple who's grown so far apart, through disagreement, that she lives on the ceiling and he lives on the floor. When the husband, Walter (Nigel Anthony), tries to fix things and reinvigorate his romance with his wife, Madge (Rayyah McCaul), their flying home comes crashing down (as well as their equilibrium). The 11 minute short was written and directed by Timothy Reckart. It's an interesting concept as well as quirky and humorous at times. Of course it's also ultimately heart warming. Not a great animated short but a good one.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6yq7kwUUDQ
