A dystopian commentary on humankind.

Top CriticEven without a word of dialogue, Plympton's dark fable about the almost unnatural redemption of a lost soul content in its damnation is easily understood, and neatly told.

Top CriticYou're not going to come out of the movie a [Plympton] fan if you don't go in as one.

I like to think Plympton would take it as a compliment if I said he sees human beings as little more than a debased sum of bodily functions.

Although this is, in part, a darkly comic exploration of man's inhumanity to man, there is a current of optimism, flowing like the artwork, beneath the story.

Good battles evil as a gun-running, booze-swilling, cigarette-puffing badass is dragged, kicking and screaming, toward salvation in Bill Plympton's slyly sardonic black comedy, his best animated feature to date.
