August 12, 2009A graphic novel in movie form that works really quite well in providing a cool, dark, film noir atmosphere. It helps having the new James Bond to provide the lead voice too. The sci-fi story is a fairly good one and quite appropriate to the style of the movie. However, the plot c...( read more)

November 11, 2008The animation style may seem original as a film but it pretty much resembles the computer game XIII as well as the last Spider-Man animated series. Though the thick blacks and pure whites add a lot of style and atmosphere in some scenes it becomes hard to differentiate backgroun...( read more)

August 29, 2008I tried, but I couldn't sit through it. I guess I have become too main-stream, but the black and white only cartoon-like images and the long time it took for any coherent story to develop made me seek another movie to watch on TV this evening. Twice I've tried to watch this mov...( read more)

August 10, 2008Renaissance made me feel as if Sin City and A Scanner Darkly ravenously did IT with Blade Runner watching. In Europe.

The sophistication of Renaissance is all in its ultracool appearance, with little of interest beneath its glittering surface. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
A comic book -- mint condition, double-bagged -- that leaves you impressed only with its pristine hollowness. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Renaissance is more than mere eye candy. It sneaks into deeper, darker places - a dream world of shadowy menace. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
The picture's most fascinating aspect is its startling graphic detail. Despite their severely limited tonal palette, the filmmakers pull off some remarkably delicate effects. ... It's a full, living w... full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
Certainly one of the year's more luscious releases, offering not just the sleekest car chase but the most romantic of rainstorms. full review
