J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The animation set pieces scattered throughout the movie are frequently inspired, pulling in all manner of media and materials, and the backgrounds can be dazzling. May 4, 2017 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post It's crazy and ridiculous at times. But I can't help agreeing with Assaf, who observes, of his companions' rescue plans, "I like it. It has the logic of a dream." Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2017 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Shaw's animation is a loopy, inventive mish-mosh of elements: thick pen outlines, fine etching work, washes of finger-painted color, and the occasional outbreak of full-on psychedelia. Rated: 2.5/4 May 4, 2017 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine This may indeed be a visually forward-thinking work, but I simply can’t tell, so I’ll steal the movie’s own dialogue for a summation: “It’s a mixed to negative review, but they say it’s ‘dazzling?'” Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema It's not like anything that passes as animation these days, and that's perfect. High time some fresh air blew open those doors. Rated: 3.5/5 May 21, 2021 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review I feel that John Hughes would approve. May 6, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Love this film! Such a wild, gorgeous, hilarious animated comedy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review spencer p Elevating it's animatic style to psychedelic highs, as well as randomly gross lows, MEHSSITS is unique in every sense of the word, in addition to its self explanatory, pulse-pounding premise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was beautiful, but it didn't really have much to give in the realm of plot and characters. It was every basic high-school story, giving no surprises besides perhaps a bit of the violence. It was well done but could have been more inventive, and it completely slipped away from my mind almost instantly after watching it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review chris n Truly a comic book in motion picture form, whether it makes for good entertainment will depend on the beholder. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If this film were to be told in any other way than the animation style of which it was presented, it would be extremely cheesy. But with its visuals being just as strange as the story, it creates a unique and enjoyable atmosphere I havent found in any other film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Disappointing! waste of time as this animated movie amounted to nothing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
