Ari Folman = Great animation.

The highlight is the WWII part (Anne-Kitty relationship). The one set nowadays gets lost in an unnecessary love story when should have been more about the refugees.

Stale acting from the main cast with a too predictable screenplay full of incoherencies and scares that do not really land.

Only thing that can be saved are the make-up and special effects, and still those aren’t anything new.

Besides some debatable choices in editing and sound mixing, Casademunt’s feature debut presents an amazing score, beautiful photography and splendid acting with a very solid script. Great future ahead of him!

Tale on parenthood and animal cruelty clearly influenced by Béla Tarr (EP).

The mid-way appearance of Pétur (stellar Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) is key to have someone you can relate to in this bizarre situation.

Hell yeah! Funny, uncomfortable, surprising and bloody!

Characters and setting quickly and effectively presented to get right into action.

Switches smoothly through comedy, unease and sentimentalism.
