Careful, the hilariously bizarre new film from Canadian director Guy Maddin, is like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension -- a strange artifact that time forgot.

Top CriticCareful is one long and amusing pun on German Expressionistic film imagery, Freudian psychology and quasi-Wagnerian storytelling, all carried to absurdist lengths.

Top CriticIn part a hilarious satire about Canadian timidity, it also comes across periodically as a formalist gem about nothing at all.

Top CriticToo strange for its own good, Careful is less interesting as a film than it is as a Canadian cinematic anomaly.

Uniquely weird, subtly macabre, and utterly compelling.
