When a young girl's sketchbook falls into a strange pond, her drawings come to life--unpredictable, chaotic, and dangerously real. As the town unravels, she and her brother must track down the creatures before they leave permanent damage. Their father, racing to find them through the fallout, must navigate a town in crisis to reunite his family and stop the disaster they never meant to unleash.

Critics Consensus

Sketch is an imaginative directorial debut that fuses dazzling visual creativity with heartfelt emotion to craft a vibrant celebration of art's transformative power and its role in healing grief.

It also has a strong emotional core and it sensitively and intelligently delivers a heartfelt message about loss and how we process grief.

4/5

Hale, best known for comic TV roles in Arrested Development and Veep, proves himself to be a gentle and subtle dramatic actor, especially in one-on-one scenes with the impressively gifted Belle.

Without suited execs and random focus groups sanding off the rugged edges central to its themes, Sketch feels uncompromised in its vision and genuine in its intent.
