Kenneth Baker San Francisco Chronicle "Far Out Isn't Far Enough" [has] a raconteur's charm rare among film studies of artists' lives. Rated: 3/4 Sep 5, 2013 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post For the most part, Bernstein lets Ungerer, still impish in his 80s, do the talking. Rated: 4/4 Jul 11, 2013 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Globe In 1958, Ungerer's picture book "Crictor" featured an unlikely hero, a boa constrictor, and the usual anodyne pabulum served up to bored kids would no longer do. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 11, 2013 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine Computer graphics bring his subversive art magically to life. Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Kiefer SF Weekly Ungerer has a light touch with weighty absurdity. Feb 4, 2014 Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express A welcome introduction to a remarkable man.
