everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

For fans of Frank Herbert's "Dune," Aeon Flux (to a degree), "Across the Universe" (the musical, and up to the part it started to drag), and "Triplets of Belleville," I recommend this movie.It takes place in a netherworld (or our world) future, 7 centuries down the line, and I thought of "Dune" in that there's a new system in place for all inhabitants.I thought of "Across the Universe" because of its use of music to disjointedly establish the events leading up to the climax. Next, I was reminded of "Triplets of Belleville" because of its use of visuals (sans sound) to construct the mood of the scene. There is some Aeon Flux-ish stuff in there, but not too much; Aeon Flux fans are warned. Just some scenes for you to remember those late nights watching MTV to catch an episode before the hour was run out.In all, I believe this movie was such a fantastic artistic feat, I am not sure whether calling it an "LGBT movie" does it any justice. Rather, I found it was a very ambitious animated movie project that worked very well.

I have to question whether the film that I just watched is the same one that other reviewers here are labelling "visionary", "groundbreaking" and "unique". I like a lot of strange and unusual films, but there was just nothing terribly compelling to be found here.While I admire the film for it's same-sex love story and the director's attempt to employ young people domestically in its production, claims of delivering "a dreamlike tale unlike anything you've ever seen" quickly fall flat. The story rife with clichés, from the rich-kid-run-away protagonist, to her under-class rebel love interest, dystopian future setting, and the downward spiral into the world of rock-and-roll, sex, drugs, exploitation, and broken dreams. I wouldn't call the imagery anything groundbreaking. It was all reminiscent of Wizards and Heavy Metal, with lengthy, brightly coloured drug-trip sequences.I might have enjoyed it more had there been any attempt to evolve beyond the clichés... But there was nothing innovative to be found here. Vapid, one-dimensional characters and plot chug along in perfectly predictable fashion until the film's stereotypically cheesy "generic art film fade-to-black with indeterminate character fate"(TM) conclusion.Overall it can be summed up as a trippy stoner art film with sci-fi overtones. No new ground is broken here. Nothing new or innovative is explored or attempted. The characters and plot are all tired and generic. All the themes and storytelling in this film have been done before, and done better.

A daringly innovative trip into sci-fi awesomeness, Strange Frame: Love and Sax truly is a diamond in the rough. From its jazz infused soundtrack to Claudia Black's spellbinding voice, the film is an audiovisual "galvanizer." And if Black's soothing narration doesn't make your heart skip a beat, maybe voice acting vets Tara Strong and Cree Summer can do the trick! I would be doing the film injustice by saying its cast is made up of simple stars. Stars? These guys are Solar System titans of Ganymedian proportion! Two words. Tim. Curry. that is all... The visual style is so eye-catching and unique, that it can only be described as an intergalactic fever-dream. Although the story could be seen as pretty standard sci-fi fare, the film's overall ambition and vigorous creativity ultimately shine through, giving a breath of fresh air to a much-beloved genre that (as of late) has unfortunately plummeted to the nether regions of "same ol' same ol'" I am amazed by and thankful for the film's use of LGBT themes, which are neither played for laughs nor jammed down our throats with pseudo- respect and sympathy. Strange Frame is not a gay love story, but a love story (and that's how gay love stories are done right!) It is also refreshing to see such themes reflected in not only a sci-fi film but an animated film. The soundtrack transcends mere praise. From classics like Pink Floyd (and the masterpiece that is "the gunner's dream") to (at least for me) new-found gems like Shelley Doty (what an artist!) the music in Strange Frame will resound in your mind long after the credits have rolled. If you're a fan of sci-fi and animation do yourself a favor and check this film out...just pop the corn, lay back and hold on to the dream! ;)

"Strange Frame" is a digitally animated film in which two lesbian lovers are separated in a scheme of corporate greed and corruption. Naia and Parker are lesbian musicians determined to make it "to the top" together - until the proverbial monkey wrench is thrown into their plans.The film features stylized characters and environments, as well as unique color usage that the viewer can almost taste. A unique visual texture is imbued into elements such as character hair and liquids, with nearly every scene containing a double-take-worthy image.Contextually, I imagine that the film is commenting on a dilemma that nearly every artist - and person - faces: "Am I willing to sacrifice who I am to achieve personal success?" This sentiment is very uniquely served by G.B. Hajim's personal style and art direction."Strange Frame" is an interesting and inspiring picture that I am proud to say was actualized in my hometown of Hilo, Hawaii. Recommended!
