Lost in an endless desert, an injured teenager adopts the identity of a mythical unicorn to survive surreal encounters and rescue his father from the Cactus King.
_Sunburnt Unicorn_ feels like a spiritual successor to Gore Verbinski’s _Rango_ with a fraction of the budget. The animation is extremely simple for CGI with the majority of the character designs, but the textures are rather detailed. The visuals are limited thanks to its budget, but also intriguing for the same reason.
The film is dark at times with mild vulgarity and adult themes with an unstable narrative that keeps you intrigued. A sadder ending would have fit the overall mood of the film more, but _Sunburnt Unicorn_ is a drop of hope in the desolate wasteland known as life.
