A more than interesting debut by director Michel Gondry. A satire about, well, human nature. A joke on humanity. A spoof on love and sex (mostly sex) and a comedy about our deepest insticts and the best (and worst) ways to supress them.
Visually, it's not as engaging as ...( read more)

Critic Reviews
Has some hilariously bizarre moments along with a highly original premise. full review
What lingers is Arquette and her wistful little squeak of a voice, imbuing Lila with a mournfulness that's quite touching. full review
If it tried to do anything more, it would fail and perhaps explode, but at this level of manic whimsy, it is just about right. full review
