The film’s appeal comes from its striking visual style. The characters and backgrounds were painted on paper in bold calligraphic lines and unexpected colors.
Los Angeles Times
Although this film's style is soft and colorful, it does not rub out the emotional sharpness of a story dealing with betrayal, suicide and death.

As we continue to see animation progress and become more and more realistic, the French animated film The Girl Without Hands or La Jeune Fille sans mains is a reminder that the medium can be just as compelling with simple and evocative strokes

The Mary Sue
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Laudenbach tells this tale, with its theme of female innocence threatened by sinister supernatural forces, using a shifting and layered style of animation that plunges us into the mercurial landscape of the story.

A Brothers Grimm tale is given a rather grim if beautifully rendered makeover in The Girl Without Hands (La Jeune fille sans mains), which marks the feature debut of French animation director Sebastien Laudenbach.

Rating: 2/5 --
Writer-director (and co-editor) Sèbastien Laudenbach strives and largely succeeds in his effort to produce a finished animated film with the vivacity and evocative power of a rough sketchbook.

I am certainly grateful for artists like Sébastien Laudenbach for reminding me that animation is still art and it can still be made by one man painting a story.
