Leah Nelson’s Tangles transforms a familiar Alzheimer’s narrative into something remarkably fresh and emotionally devastating through the power of animation. Following a daughter who returns home to care for her mother as the disease slowly strips away her identity, the film captures both the heartbreak of Alzheimer’s and the immense burden it places on families. While the story traces the tragic progression commonly associated with the illness, Nelson’s adaptation of Sarah Leavitt’s graphic novel elevates the material through striking sketch-like animation that visualizes emotions, fears, and memories with extraordinary intimacy. Supported by excellent voice performances and a deeply compassionate approach to its subject matter, Tangles emerges as a raw, honest, and profoundly moving exploration of loss that stands among the most powerful cinematic depictions of Alzheimer’s in recent memory.
