Featured review
Funny
This animated short film tells the story of an old man, who plays a game of chess with himself in the park. As he loses the game, he decides to turn things around with a drastic move.
"Geri's Game" is an interesting animation, as we see only one character but he plays both sides of the game. In the middle of the film, it gets unclear whether there is really just one man or there are two. Yet, I think the ending resolves this issue. It is a funny animation, but it is not as outstanding as the recent Pixar short animations.
