Leave your thoughts about Wool 100%.
| New York PostV.A. MusettoIf Tim Burton were to go to Japan to make a movie about two elderly sisters living in a house filled with junk, and a girl who invades their lives and spends day and night knitting a red sweater, it would be something like Wool 100%. |
| New York TimesMatt Zoller SeitzWild yet gentle, the fantasy film Wool 100% is a playful contraption illustrating the kinship between movies, fairy tales and dreams. |
| User ReviewPaul CThis is the kind of moviemaking and atmosphere are not often available out there, a thrilling ride that reminds me of some of my favorite films, such as "The Taste of Tea". Highly praised and recommended! |
| User ReviewTom DWhat a lovely refreshing original movie. Surreal,eccentric and tangential in nature. Visually stunning and do get the dolby surround sound out for the quirky musical score. |
| User ReviewXero BVelhas catadoras de lixo encontram uma menina viciada em tricô. A partir daí, segue uma jornada pelo subconsciente das velhas, representado pelos objetos que elas catam. A criança traz de volta à juventude e a possibilidade de sair do ciclo vicioso. O tricô, atividade feminina considerada pacífica e inútil se torna o grande meio de ação pelo qual as personagens ganham domínio sobre sua própria vida. Tricotar é criar vida. Grande sacada dessa trama surreal. |
| User ReviewGabriel GLovely and funny movie, covered in a delightful and colorful photographic atmosphere. Seemed to be a surrealistic plot in the beginning, finally everything has a meaning. |
| User ReviewBetty WSo apparently there are these two old ladies who live in a mansion that they have completely covered in other peoples thrown away things. Then, this crazy naked chick come along and becomes obsessed with knitting which reminds the two old women of why they live alone and why they have never had a social life outside their house. For the most part this movie makes little sense, but the ending is fascinating as you try to place all the puzzles pieces together. Also, the vibrancy of the red yarn was beautiful to look at. So were the creative scenes where Knit-Again destroyed all of thier objects insides the house that had come to life. |
| User ReviewBob PThis is essentially an absurdist Japanese Fairy Tale. Not everything always entirely makes sense but it's made quite obvious that it really isn't meant to. It's a very odd little film that packs a quarter-ton of whimsy in a 100-pound bag. |
| User ReviewRonnie PVery weird and absurd, but it's also very moving. Also, there's an amazing animated sequence that shouldn't be missed. |
| User ReviewSamantha FThis has the feel of a modern fable and is wonderful to look at. It meandered slightly, but the excellent animation in the middle more than makes up for that! |
