Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    There are no handy publicity campaigns to introduce you to the five live-action shorts and five animated shorts nominated for Oscars, but I can help.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Gone are the days of "selected shorts" on movie bills, but thank the gods of cinema for this annual release of Oscar nominees.

  • Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

    They help dispel our often fatigued prejudices about that format as a haven for all things digital, 3-D, snarky and kid-marketed.

  • A.O. Scott, New York Times

    Its spirit is so easygoing that its visual complexity and emotional nuances may take awhile to register.

  • Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

    There's no unifying theme here, except that there's surely a short here for every taste.
