Greater effort on the visuals and story coherence would have made the film more accessible.

Simply unlike any Japanese animé I’ve ever encountered before, Tamala is jarringly unique from start to finish.

What plot there is takes the viewer from scene to scene in a highly annoying arbitrary fashion.

Japanese art collective t.o.L. (Tree of Life) have taken the hipster kitsch of Hello Kitty to a delirious extreme.

Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space is a dark allegory and a dazzling example of Japanese anime.

Tamala 2010 is easily the most original and best film of the year . . . for its first hour.

Considered exclusively as storytelling, the movie barely exists.

The movie is rarely as clever or interesting as it sounds.

The film makes no sense whatsoever.

The anime Tamala 2010 asks a lot of the viewer, but it gives something back, though I'm not sure exactly what.

This anime may be just about the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
