Critic Reviews

What's truly extraordinary about this movie--which strikes me on two viewings as Maddin's masterpiece--is that it not only plays like a dream but feels like one.Full Review

J. Hoberman
Village Voice

It's said to be an autobiography, but that pertains only in the loosest sense. It's a comedy. It's a 1920s silent movie. It is practically indescribable. And it is pure genius.Full Review

New York Daily News

There's a new visual idea every second, each teeming with energy, pitch-dark comedy, and inspired cinematic lunacy.Full Review

David Sterritt
Christian Science Monitor

Ultimately, psychotically inventive pic is a formidable addition to the ever-evolving Maddin oeuvre.Full Review

Variety

Abortion, incest, infidelity, revenge, and hockey collide at a fever pitch, juxtaposed with such frantic energy that they're pushed to the level of high comedy, funniest at its most dramatic.Full Review
