Critic Reviews
-
David Jenkins, Time Out
Sure, the rage is palpable in every cell, but poise and rational thinking are sadly lacking.
-
Leslie Felperin, Variety
A distasteful sum total.
-
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Morgenthaler views this business not only as a monstrously abusive exploitation of people and their bodies, but the height of anti-eroticism and anti-art that demands a complete emotional disconnect between viewer and performer.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
It's very controlled and deliberate and gives the illusion that it has something to say, but its point is a bit unclear.
-
Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews
...a somber, sad and, in the end, hopeful animation that is a kindred spirit to such Japanese anime as Tokyo Godfathers in look, if not feel.
