The animation in "Waltz with Bashir" is stunning and will grab the viewer from the outset. This is personal storytelling, and the narrative is largely compelling. The shift late in the movie to depicting the wartime massacres is unfortunately not as effective as the film's early scenes. Also, the ending newsreel footage is jarring and, in my opinion, does not gel with the animation it abuts. As such, the ending was unfortunately weak and unsatisfying. Still, an excellent film.
