I didn't really get the idea but it was interesting and kinda bizzare. And I like it that way.

Somehow, with stick figures as its central characters and probably less of a budget to use then many other filmmakers, Don Hertzfeldt manages to take a repeatedly used idea and makes it far more epic and interesting than most could ever attempt. If that does not deserve applause I do not know what does.

Ambitious yet inscrutable, though Hertzfeldt remains one of the most inventive, artistically gifted filmmakers out there. Worth a watch.

Should have only been half as long, but it was an interesting, quite bizzare short. For a guy who draws stick figures Hertzfeldt is sure a resourceful, innovative fella. By far not my favorite of his but it's a harmless, elegant short.

The animation is simple and lovely, and the film is filled with imagination. Not perfect but quite delightful nonetheless.

Not much here that interested this viewer.

Hertzfeldt's version of 2001: Space Odyssey? Only saw it once, and I feel it has a potential to grow on me.

Will make you sit back and go 'hmm'. [not for that long, though]

I have to say I loved it. Maybe the orchestral music manipulated me emotionally, but somehow I was touched and it seemed so authentically pensive. A nice lead-up to Everything Will Be OK.

Unbearably tedious work from Hertzfeldt. There are a few bold techniques at work, but it doesn't make up for the dreary pace. He should stick to comedy.

I don't know, I want to like it, it's certainly creative but I wasn't really engaged.

Creative, but has betters.

This is one of the most cliche ideas every animator out there get for their first short. But Hertzfeldt delivers it with wit, elegance, yet with simplicity.
