Distinctly less than the sum of its many parts. Film has a lot of things it wants to say and do but it would have been better off just picking one of them, instead of throwing them all into a blender and hoping for the best. There's some artful family drama stuff in the beginning that soon gets swept away amongst trite dialogue and queasy scattergun satire. The Player this ain't. The animation segment is completely jarring, and a mess narratively. Overall it's juvenilia, and pretty disengenuous.

30 Gener 2016 - Bon plantejament. M'interessen els personatges i la situació. Encara que ella és molt hierà tica. En començar l'animació el canvi és massa marcat i descentra. Em fa perdre l'atenció. Després es torna molt boja. Tot i aixà hi ha coses interessants, curioses i segurament arriscades.

The ideas are there and what could have been something pretty great falls to a hodgepodge of gibberish. It sure is pretty, though, and it just goes to show that Folman is a master at imagery.

Weird movie... the only part I really liked though was the live action beginning. Once she takes the pill and enters the cartoon world, all sense of logic and coherence are tossed out the window, never to return. Folman embarks on his acid-trip flight of fancy and descends further and further into lunacy. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe there were deep and beautiful metaphors laced throughout. But 2/3 of this film was narratively the worst tripe I've sat through in several years of bad film watching.

There's a lot of possibly interesting stuff in terms of themes going on in this film. When it comes down to it, I just didn't enjoy my time with it very much. Way too convoluted and trying to be weird for the sake of being weird.

The last thirty minutes really made this film for me, as it brings together the themes of truth, reality, identity, and sacrifice together in a strange and beautiful way. But it wouldn't have worked without the emotional weight that Wright brings to the film. I appreciate the surprising ways the film explores the tension between her life as an actress and as a mother. The surrealistic animation works once it becomes clear what's going on, and the transition from one world to another is stunning.

I hate it when adult animations have too cartoony/childish style. Film's visual style doesn't fit the themes of the film at all. As a result they clash and draw my attention away from the real focal point of they movie.
