Two-time Oscar nominee Don Hertzfeldt crafts this provocative film in the most skillful way. With only stick figure drawings and some stock footage, he compellingly walks you through the crumbling mind of a man. It is funny. It is sad. It is unsettling. Unlike most movies – or perhaps any movie – there is no point in the film where you feel safe. Unpredictable. Engrossing. Disturbing. By the end of it, you will not be sure what you’ve just seen, but you will feel as if it has changed you. **Personal suggestion: do not watch alone late at night**
"One of the great films about memory, perspective and past history."
— Glenn Heath Jr.
"Call the finale Kubrickian or Malickian, but for my money Hertzfeldt's sense of humour gets him further than either."
— Nick Bradshaw
