You can watch “The Girl Who Cried Pearls” mostly through Canadian platforms right now, with limited or no official streaming in some other regions.

Where to watch (by region)

Canada (best options)

  • NFB (National Film Board of Canada) – Free streaming if you’re in Canada (and reportedly works from abroad if you use a VPN set to Canada).
  • Crave (via Amazon Channel) – Available to stream there with a subscription.

Several forum users mention that the NFB link is the easiest way to watch it, especially for people doing Oscar short-film marathons.

United States

  • No mainstream streaming listed right now. JustWatch currently shows no active streaming options in the U.S. for “The Girl Who Cried Pearls.”
  • Your realistic options:
    • Wait for an official U.S. streaming release (likely via NFB, a major streamer, or an Oscar-shorts package).
    • Temporarily use a VPN set to Canada and access it through the NFB site, as some Reddit users suggest.

Australia and other countries

  • Australia: No local streaming options at the moment according to JustWatch.
  • Spain and some other territories: Listed as available on Movistar Plus+ and related packages in certain regions.

If you’re outside Canada/Spain, you’ll probably need to either:

  • Check your local NFB or festival-partner platforms.
  • Use a VPN to access the Canadian NFB version, where allowed in your jurisdiction.

What it is (quick context)

  • 2025 Canadian stop‑motion animated short (about 16–18 minutes).
  • Directed by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski.
  • A dark fable about a poor boy who falls in love with a girl whose tears turn into pearls , and how greed corrupts good hearts.
  • It has been Oscar-shortlisted and Annie-nominated , so it’s circulating heavily in 2025–2026 festival and awards-season packages.

Simple watch-strategy checklist

  1. If you’re in Canada :
    • Try NFB (free) first, then Crave via Amazon Channel.
  1. If you’re in the U.S. or Australia :
    • Check if any Oscar Shorts 2026 package is playing in local cinemas or on VOD.
    • As a fallback, consider a VPN to Canada and watch via NFB (if this is legal where you live).
  1. If you’re in Spain/other listed regions :
    • Look for it on Movistar Plus+ or the services JustWatch lists in your country.

TL;DR:
Right now, the most reliable way to watch The Girl Who Cried Pearls is for free on the National Film Board of Canada’s site (NFB) or via Crave in Canada , while other regions either have no official streaming yet or only limited regional platforms like Movistar Plus+.
