Mini-Review: This film is surreal stop motion animation in a similar vein to the films of Svankmajer. The characters are chimeric, weird, and fantastical. There are scenes involving a spider that I found especially captivating. Drawbacks include crude stop motion and some scenes are a bit too long and repetitive. The creepiness did not turn off my 3-y.o. In fact, the nuances of emotions rendered and the evolution of the story kept us constantly guessing and bantering about the action and possible outcomes.

Mini-Review: Good classic science fiction. Suspend disbelief for some unlikely speculative cloning science. Gripping emotional, psychological, & philosophical drama. I enjoyed Sam Rockwell again in this film.

Mini-Review: Very good mishmash of great sci fi themes combined with intriguing setting and social history baggage of Johannesburg, SA. It's a violent, gross-out film--but with a good story.
