Fifteen years after Mary & Max, Adam Elliot returns with another touching and heartfelt film about loneliness and longing. It’s melancholic and dark at times—because that’s life. The Charlie Brown reference feels entirely fitting.
The animation is deeply personal, consistently styled, and meticulously composed. Beneath it all runs a thread of humor, often dry and sometimes pitch-black, but always present.
A beautifully crafted, bittersweet tale—funny, sad, and profoundly human.
An impressively crafted documentary where geopolitics, liberation struggles, colonialism, racism, and jazz merge into a powerful whole. The simmering anger at Western oppression and complicity is ever-present, giving the film a sharp political edge.
Whether you come for the music or the politics, the film delivers equally on both fronts—an illuminating and passionate work.
A masterful blend of history and music, rich with both fury and rhythm.
This film stands as the definitive portrait of Syd Barrett. Its brilliant composition incorporates archive footage, expert editing, music, and insightful interviews, all contributing to a comprehensive and captivating narrative. It holds a personal touch, as it was created by one of Syd's childhood friends, adding depth and intimacy to the storytelling.
Bringing the substance of Cinderella into the modern age while restoring the brutality of the Grimms’ original tale proves to be a powerful combination in Emilie Blichfeldt’s impressive debut. Forget Disney—this is how it should be done.
Dark, violent, and uncompromising, the film reminds us that fairy tales were never meant for children.
A striking, blood-soaked vision of Cinderella that pulls no punches.
