Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fans of Plympton's shorts may marginally enjoy the film, but it is doubtful this listless feature will win him any new viewers.
It's a work by an artist so in control of both his medium and his message that he can improvise like a jazzman.
A new film from Bill Plympton, the animation master, is always welcome.
For the future, one hopes Mr. Plympton will find room for one more member of his little band, a professional screenwriter.
