What the critics say average 8.7 from 3

  • 9.0 VarietyPeter Debruge An exceptional stop-motion project by Charlie Kaufman that results in another uniquely cerebral yet satisfying bout of self-analysis. Read
  • 9.0 Rolling StonePeter Travers What's miraculously inventive here is the way these rubbery, barely sketched-in figures come to remind us of ourselves. Read
  • 8.0 The A.V. ClubManohla Dargis A beautiful big-screen whatsit, features a throng of whiners, malcontents and depressives along with one bright soul who hasn?t let disappointment break her. Read

Trivia

  • The song that Lisa sings to Michael would be originally 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion, but was changed for Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' due to the inability to obtain the rights for the Titanic's song.

  • The song the Geisha doll sings at the end of the movie is a real Japanese children's song called "Momotaro" that tells the story of a boy sent from Heaven.

  • Tom Noonan voiced all the characters in the film, except for the two protagonists.
