"Fifty Percent Grey" is a bit of a confusing title for this 3-minute short film by Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson. Apparently a man is dead, at least that is what he hears in a television running. Then he suddenly has a gun in his hand and this scenario repeats itself a couple times. A very short animated movie and I wonder what the Academy saw in it exactly to nominate it for an Oscar, because I do not see it. At least they gave the win to the superior Pixar entry. It is not a bad film by any means and the animation is pretty solid for example, but to me there is nothing memorable about it at all, which makes me a bit baffled about its success. I do not recommend it, but if you want to decide on your own, you can go for it. It is only 3 minutes long like I said, so no time is wasted. or almost none. Still a thumbs-down from me.
