Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A raucously fun cartoon that combines raunchiness, political satire and hip-hop to sometimes exhilarating effect.
– Frank Scheck,

fresh:
The Hungarian cartoon feature The District! is a last-minute shoo-in for the title of 2007's most original animated film.

fresh:
A tasty Hungarian goulash.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,
19 Dec 2007
fresh:
Fifteen credited artists labored over the distinct animated style, a jerky collage in which cutouts of actors' heads are blended with animated bodies and surroundings; result is crude yet novel.

rotten:
Eye-popping as The District! is, the overarching geopolitical satire is a haphazardly lobbed grenade too dim-witted to be explosive.
