What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thom Yorke's eerie compositions blend perfectly with Paul Thomas Anderon's ethereal direction to form a bewitching meditation on alienation and what it means to connect.

Andrew McMillen The Australian [Anima's] a compelling piece of art that's well worth your time. Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Jordan Hoffman TV Guide [T]his is undeniably great filmmaking. Jul 8, 2019 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com "Anima" is something special. Jul 8, 2019 Full Review Prahlad Srihari Firstpost The world of Anima could easily exist in a universe, somewhere between Metropolis and THX 1138 -- evoking the underlying angst about capitalism and technology's sway over both society and the individual. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Stephen Porzio HeadStuff The minute the credits roll, you'll just want to rewind to the beginning. Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films Inspired by Carl Jung's theories of the unconsciousness, the Netflix produced Anima is everything - Brash, imperfect, absurd, honest, abstract and ultimately beautiful. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member it sucks, a lack of art and just is terrible. my family (not my sister) hates this movie, it is just disgusting and features gruesome parts, such as thom yorke ripping out a womens lower intestinal track. as well as shooting her 5 times in the head with a m1911. TERRIBLE NEVER EVER WATCH Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review LL S Thom Yorke at his vaguely unsettling best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review psyche999 E It was overall a great concept, but I do not think it was necessarily a me movie. The choreography was outstanding, it almost feeling like watching an elaborate theatrical musical, and the whole idea of an album transcribed into film was just purely majestical. I simply did not really understand it as a whole, unfortunately. I don't think it's the fault of the director or of the artist behind the album. If I had a deep understanding of what it truly represented, then the score would've been much higher. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The cover and concept of this short film is pretty cool, but I guess this isn't my type of film. The music sounds good - although the film itself doesn't touch me emotionally at all. I understand the message of this film is truthful about our modern day society, but the choreography ruins it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a movie that i will re-watch for sure but i will just because of the visuals. There is no story but that's understandable because this is kind of a long music video. At a first viewing i was curious what is happening but 2nd viewing was boring and the only two things i was thinking then were the metaphors and visuals. I recommend it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Dawn Chorus will make you cry your eyes out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
