Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: A cruel, funny, heartbreaking love note to a city kept alive by its freaks, and always, always dying. – Roger Greenspun, New York Times, Sep 3, 2008

Fresh: Heavy Traffic not only has an authentic tenement toughness but the rough feeling of unassimilated autobiography, of experiences and fantasies still keenly felt. – Jay Cocks, TIME Magazine, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Bakshi manages to offend nearly everyone from transvestites to mafiosi; but the comic distancing achieved by his army of animators manages to bring off a most difficult kind of humor: the humor of pain and despair. – Don Druker, Chicago Reader, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: ...deliriously perverted... – Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine, Apr 25, 2014
