Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The grim, dystopian world in this animated French film is the product of a computer technique that evokes the sharp, linear style of a graphic novel.
Rotten: No one will be talking about the movie's banal plot, the trite dialogue, or any of the indistinguishable characters who offer a bleak futuristic vision of cinema that's all style, no soul.
Fresh: It's a testament to the production design that one quickly gets caught up in the story without ever completely losing the "ooh-ahh" factor. Ominous, wall-to-wall music bolsters the appropriately uneasy mood, and the bittersweet conclusion is satisfying.
Fresh: Renaissance is a dark joy to inhabit once you jettison the idea of a satisfying narrative.
Customer Reviews
Excellent
This movie is visually appealing. While it's dated, it's cool for its time. The plat can be a bit tricky to follow, but it's worth a watch. The background art is very cool.
