Stephen Holden New York Times The five-minute movie, which is only a fragment of the program, has the feel of a manic silent-film parody. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 28, 2006 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Maddin's brilliant, delirious short is a spot-on pastiche/parody of a silent Soviet propaganda epic, full of phallic symbols, visionary heroes and splendidly emphatic montage. Oct 28, 2006 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Conjures up a universe so vast and wacky that anyone can get lost in it. Rated: 4/4 Mar 16, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Bizarre experimental 6-minute short. Rated: A Oct 1, 2009 Full Review Rob Nelson City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Further propelled by a suitably frantic Soviet orchestral score, the insane rush of scratched, jumpy images compels you to keep your eyes as wide as possible for the entire six minutes -- even though you couldn't dream of absorbing it all. May 8, 2007 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Exhilarating. Mar 16, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
