Movie Reviews

Variety - 9/10 by Justin ChangFive stories by Edgar Allan Poe get varied treatment in this striking but inert animated compendium.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Charles SolomonLike "A Cat in Paris" or "Sita Sings the Blues," Extraordinary Tales reminds viewers that animation can enable an artist to realize an individual vision, even on a limited budget.
Boston Herald - 8/10 by James VerniereGarcia brings these classic Poe tales to life with the notable aid of atmospheric score by Sergio de la Puente.
AV Club - 6/10 by Tasha RobinsonEach of the shorts has a markedly different visual approach, and they feel radically distinct in terms of pacing and editing as well. In spite of the common source material and tone of oppressive psychological horror, these shorts feel like they could be the work of five different people.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by Ethan AlterDespite working from extraordinary subject matter-Edgar Allan Poe's various tales of the macabre-too many entries in this animated anthology are disappointingly ordinary.
New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisHarnessing a range of appropriately spooky-oddball narrators and striking visual styles — including graphic novels, early photography and Expressionist painting — the Spanish director and animator Raul Garcia simultaneously honors and reimagines.
Mark Reviews Movies - 6/10 by Mark DujsikWith its weak framing story and hastily assembled formatting, Extraordinary Tales simply is the sum of parts--not a whole.
RogerEbert.com - 6/10 by Brian TallericoBoth the source material and the man reading it are legendary. And that inherent cool factor in Extraordinary Tales carries the final product a very long way, although its shortcomings do sometimes force me to wonder if it could have been a masterpiece instead of a mere curiosity.
Paste Magazine - 6/10 by Andy CrumpExtraordinary Tales leaves us wishing for more: more running time, more of Poe's material, more of Garcia's macabre animated magic.
HeraldNet (Everett, WA) - 6/10 by Robert HortonThe fact that an author who died 166 years ago continues to be a draw for moviemakers says something about Edgar Allan Poe's imagination. And here's a feverish new animated Poe feature -- released just in time for Halloween.
