Rating: B+ -- It's a strange tale that never seems to be anything other than enormously funny and strange. Full Review

There's a thin line between weird and strange, and Maddin's debut falls just the wrong side. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Whatever else you might say about this weird, creepy, and funny independent item by Guy Maddin, it's certainly different.
