| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsNightmarish adult fantasy set in a shadowy underworld where rain is frequent, court intrigue is rife & marionettes dangle from black wires as if undergoing daily crucifixion. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerVisually stunning and brimming with invention, although the plot is probably too confusing for its target audience |
| User ReviewTracy NI find this movie increadibly moving, I love how the fact they are puppets on strings is part of the story rather than just an animation technique, a great story with genuinely interesting characters, some very interesting ideas that can only work with puppets, possibly better for older viewers rather than the PG rating it has. |
| User ReviewSimon LA master piece. A very seductively told story in a very beautiful way represented, full of meaning. |
| User ReviewJoel KHell yah dude. An amazing and inventive movie. So much thought and effort went into this film and it shows. The puppets act better then most of the hollywood A list actors do in real life. Everything about this movie is exceptional and if you dont like it you should go fuck yourself and die so your unimaginative simple minded genes can stop contaminating the gene pool. |
