Masterful Movie
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
When this animated film began, I was bowled over by its art style, choice of color palate and drawings. It was a bit like a Klasky Csupo animation but still different and unique--and it sure caught my attention.The film consists of a strange surreal fantasy that is the result of an astronomer's dream. Much of it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense and I really don't think it's meant to--it's more like an odd stream of consciousness that you just sit back and enjoy without questioning. I say just sit back and watch and enjoy the music. Provided you are the type person who loves unusual animations and doesn't need a traditional style or narrative, you'll have a good time.
