Guardian

Like some insane mashup of the silent film classic Metropolis, old-school dance and the children’s TV show LazyTown from the early 00s. But in a mostly fun way.

Rated: 3/5

Sunday Times (UK)

The film is aimed primarily at children, and many will enjoy it; but I wouldn’t fault anyone who finds it a bit twee.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

Leans heavily into modern concerns of fabricated image and the corruption of beauty, while staying true to the original story.
