Our Review
Completionist by Ellie Rogers Offer its viewer a glimpse into the anxiety faced by many who have uncontrollable negative thoughts and these negative thoughts that aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. We do know it’s only in the head and not true, but how does one let it go. Most of the time it’s difficult to even share these for the fear being laughed at. Excellent animation.
