Movie Reviews

Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Jim SlotekSeldom has a black heart been served up so vividly.
E! Online - 8/10 by Luke Y. Thompson...the punk rock of animated features: handmade, profane, challenging to the status quo, and occasionally ugly, yet groundbreaking.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffGood battles evil as a gun-running, booze-swilling, cigarette-puffing badass is dragged, kicking and screaming, toward salvation in Bill Plympton's slyly sardonic black comedy, his best animated feature to date.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonYou're not going to come out of the movie a [Plympton] fan if you don't go in as one.
UGO - 7/10 by Keith UhlichI like to think Plympton would take it as a compliment if I said he sees human beings as little more than a debased sum of bodily functions.
New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenThe dystopia conjured by Idiots and Angels, Mr. Plympton's sixth and best animated feature, suggests Toulouse-Lautrec by way of Charles Bukowski.
Toronto Star - 6/10 by Greg QuillEven without a word of dialogue, Plympton's dark fable about the almost unnatural redemption of a lost soul content in its damnation is easily understood, and neatly told.
User Review - 10/10 by Isaac WYou are hard-pressed to find another feature animator that can so easily delve into absurdism and break your heart simultaneously with his images. The animation in this is at times breathtaking . . . Bill Plympton called this a departure from his other feature, specifically his last the brilliantly absurdist HAIR HIGH, in it's approach to style and theme, going back to a more mono-chromatic animation and more muted colors . . . and successfully I might add. It's operatic in it's story and structure and like an opera it tears at you and stays with you as you leave the theater!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Ryan LIt's amazing that so much feeling can be provoked from such a simply animated film. Idiots and Angels is simply brilliant. With no spoken dialogue and very rudimentary animation, we get a surprisingly entertaining and haunting moral tale about the nature of humanity and our capacity for altruism and cruelty. The music and minimalist settings create a memorable experience. I feel like this is one of those movies that people may be able to find their own moral lesson from, and definitely should be seen by lovers of the unconventional and deep.
User Review - 10/10 by Lisa MBill Plympton, always a pioneer and yet an animator in the hand-drawn tradition continues to evolve. This is an ultimately uplifting story in a very dark style rife with comic mayhem - can one picture push all your buttons? If so, this one can.
