Rating: 4/5 -- With imagery that shifts seamlessly from the kawaii to the diabolical, not least in a darkly psychedelic sequence near the end, this is a film that really makes its mark. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- A film that's easier to respect than to like, filled with dazzling artwork but saddled with a scattered story that doesn't always connect on an emotional level. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- An animated movie about troubled teens, and quite possibly for them as well, because it's so very like them: alternately sweet and scary, tender and violent, dense and scattered, and oh yes, childlike and adult. Full Review

I guarantee you it will be a film experience unlike any you've had before and that has to count for something. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Forceful images are scattered throughout the meditative miserablism of Birdboy, but the film is uneven and chilly to the touch. Full Review
