...utterly idiosyncratic, in the best sense of the word. ... Very trippy and sometimes strangely disturbing, this is a quintessential midnight movie.

So achingly lovely, so immersive in a genuine childhood world, that it's hard to image a viewer walking away unmoved.

An original head trip definitely not recommended for kiddies.

Unravels dispassionately.
10/06/06
Thirteen years in the making, Christiane Cegavskes stop-motion fairy tale is at once wondrously obsolete and perfectly au courant.

Top CriticA stunning achievement that will appeal to anyone in search of a bold and captivating movie.
10/04/06
Cegavske imbues her scrappy little creatures with disturbingly complex personalities.
10/03/06
Cegavske’s film is a meld of surreal imagery, and a morbid somewhat horrific story that art lovers will enjoy. Horror fans need apply.
10/03/06
It is the oddest film I've seen all year, and certainly earns big points for originality.
10/03/06
As lovingly crafted as it is unsettlingly sour-sweet.

Top CriticAs with Henry Darger, coherence is beside the point; one just waits for the next baffling image.
