In-Between succeeds as a metaphorical exploration of the human psyche. By externalizing anxiety through a personified crocodile, the animation provides a tangible way to visualize internal psychological struggles. The film excels in its representation of mental health, treating neurodivergence with respect rather than mockery. This focus on the protagonist's internal battle offers a nuanced departure from standard comedic clichés. However, the film's narrow narrative focus limits its scope in other areas. There is a lack of explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities and clear information about racial or ethnic dynamics.
