I've only watched this once, in 2016, and sometimes I still look outside and think "hey, it's kind of a really nice day today"... then start crying.dvdgrdnr

Fine film, but it's in way too many genre list. Bill wears a hat, why not stick it in the western one as well?Siskoid
The three stories about "Bill" that end with the eponymous It's Such a Beautiful Day may form a "trilogy", but it's all one existential story. Don Hertzfeldt's crude figures are wired for pathos and his poetic narration almost barrels by too quickly, taking us into the perspective of his protagonist, one that starts with depression and nihilism and progressively gets worse, losing his faculties with illness and age. Hertzfeldt contrasts the pain of existence with what we could call solace, a release from existential concerns through the shutting down of the mind - whether we want to see it as mental breakdown, brain damage, senility or something like Alzheimer's. The writer-director manages to find more beauty and happiness in the end/death than he does in more lucid moments/life. So while the overall feeling is depressing, albeit very well observed, the piece is ultimately hopeful, positive... lyrical.high_madness
I loved it in a very sad way. Found it beautiful, from the animation, the narration, the music up to the poetry that lays beneath. Since you're gonna be dead anyway, everytime you're not it's such a beautiful day.few visible scars
Re Torgo's comment .. I've seen all three shorts, so I am claiming the whole. If anyone wishes to challenge this by telling me there are differences, I will retract!Carota

a lot of truth in this onegreenhorg
It's Hertzfeldt's same absurdist stickmen shtick, but successfully enhanced with Stan Brakhage-esque background visuals, and deadpan Jack Handy-esque narration.TalkingElvish
So glad Hertzfeld can finally put his name next to a feature. Three conjoined shorts or one legitimate feature; any excuse to get people to see this errant genius.Torgo
Um .. is this just the 3 shorts edited together without any additional sequences? If so, would it be legit to check it if I have seen the shorts, but not the feature film?Armoreska
I guess now spliced together the 3-parter would make it into my 10 favorite long-form animated films
