Awful. Simply awful. Pointless and annoying with bad ugly animation.

"These narratives are little more than pleasantly off-kilter sketches with confounding resolutions, but director Tatia Rosenthal and writer Etgar Keret artfully present them as an interconnected, crosscut network of neighborhood activity." - Joseph Jon Lanthier

the real meaning of life. one of my favorite movies.

Average. A by-the-numbers animated search for the meaning of self and existence. A calculatedly vague and random re-hash of countless similarly themed wannabes. But it does have stop-motion T&A and full frontal detailed mail nudity. Not particularly recommended.

Just watch it

The older style animation really adds to the near-morbid tone of this film. It feels like it begins in our world, but slowly starts to take a turn and get more and more uncomfortable. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it gives the film its own distinct tone. There's not very much like $9.99 out there, but, personally, I don't agree with some of the choices the characters make.

Sad and at times thought-provoking but that's about it. This is a mediocre animated film that asks the famous question: "What is the meaning of life?" There is nothing to set this apart, though, from the countless other films that ask the same old question except perhaps that it is made in stop-motion. But I did find the story about the boy and his piggy bank particularly poignant. But for the rest, not so much.

Apparently if Magnolia had been claymation i would have liked it more.

it sort of seems profound. I'm not sure if it is or not, but it is definitely worth a watch.

the film started with potential and then devolved into a mis-mosh of stories that strained mightily for credibility and, eventually ALL failed. dismally.
