best movie i've ever seen.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's no masterpiece, but it tells an entertaining (though too surreal for its own good) story with nice animation. Some of what I assume to be metaphors are far too strange to make much sense, but taken at face-value it's merely an amusing tale with good visuals. It has a very abstract style of animation, but unlike the abstract story bits, it actually works well. It fits nicely in the "Animation Express" collection on DVD/Blu-ray, which is where I viewed it. I believe its current score of 5.5 is a bit too low, I think maybe a 6.1 is better for this one. It's perfectly fine, If mediocre.
