I have nothing new to add that hasn't already been said. Instant classic for a reason.

A combination of personal historical record and reflection on unprocessed trauma. The dynamic between Art and his father Vladek is odd and tense as they both love each other and desire closeness but also cannot escape the legacy of who Vladek became in order to survive the atrocities of The Holocaust.

Would give 5 stars, but I think the art style is incongruous with the story - maybe it’s intentional but the art marred the story for me in a lot of places.
