There are frequently very similar types of films nominated in the Oscar short film categories. "My Year of Dicks" positively stands out right from the start. The film is quite funny in places, has a unique and diverse animation style, and, most importantly, has an intriguing premise. It's about a 15-year-old girl from a Houston suburb who recounts her attempts to lose her virginity in 1991 over the course of five episodes. Everything is done in a very sympathetic way; it's a nice little coming-of-age story. I was thoroughly entertained by the film.
Quite a unique little film. The animation is in varied styles for the various chapters, the writing is quite funny, the girl’s experiences rings true-to-life in a very personal way. Best parental sex talk ever!
