COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great unique movie submitted by Ilyjtwya on June 22, 2012, 5:30pm This movie has a very interesting story about addiction and abuse of a system. The summary above gives a good overview, but there are twists to the story. Additionally, the animation was definitely worth seeing, very unique on its own.

There is no sheep submitted by cherylo on July 26, 2012, 10:30am The amazing animation enhances the paranoia of the characters. This film is the best representation of Philip K. Dick's pervasive gonzo absurdity that I have ever seen. It is as mind-bending as Inception and brilliantly executed with very interesting bonus features.
