Director: Nina Paley
Even if its audience will be about 0.01 percent of that of Coraline and Up, Nina Paley's hilarious, effortlessly cross-cultural and utterly original animated feature should be considered with the same lofty regard.
Nina Paley's animated marvel mixes a personal tale of romantic woe with a fabulous, often hilarious, recounting of the Sanskrit epic fable The Ramayana.
Top CriticCaptivating, mesmerizing, spellbinding -- I'll throw everything in the movie-critic book at this animated feature by Nina Paley
Top CriticNina Paley's delicious Sita Sings the Blues finds solace in autobiography and an animated gold mine in the caverns of an ancient Sanskrit epic.
Top CriticSita Sings the Blues uses the supposed 'handicap' and 'limitations' of traditional animation to its advantage.
How does heartbreak become art? Just like this.
Startling in its delightful originality, it heralds the arrival of a major new talent in filmmaker Nina Paley.
It's a staggeringly brilliant, astonishingly imaginative feature debut from a cartoonist turned filmmaker.
The fact that a film this bold and adventurous can even exist in a time when even the independent filmmakers are less likely to find themselves experimenting with concept and form in the hopes of scoring a distribution deal is a cause for celebration
One of the most vibrant, thrilling animated works I've ever seen.
All the various visual styles come together perfectly. It is rare to find a film that can be enjoyed from start to finish.
An almost indescribable pleasure from Brooklyn-based cartoonist and animator Nina Paley. The film, dazzling and poignant and five years in the making, retells the ancient Indian epic The Ramayana from a gentle but insistent feminist perspective.
Top CriticAvoids becoming pretentious or 'artistic' through a lively sense of humour that vies with the graphic design and Hanshaw's performances as SITA's main asset
To get any film made is a miracle. To conceive of a film like this is a greater miracle.
Top CriticAmong the most visually distinctive movies of the year.
Constitutes an irrefutable argument for classic 2-D animation as a viable, vibrant low-budget arthouse medium for adults.
Top CriticIt's an infectiously personal work...a sterling example of animation meant resolutely for adults.
