Reviews

deborah-global Looking for something more artistic, interesting, and unique? This film's focus on an alternate universe where a black lesbian can be the star of a film got me interested in checking out other science fiction The drama is compelling, the animation is original and creative, the music is wonderful, and the voices will draw you in. As others have noticed, it's got quite the stellar cast of voices! If you're looking for your normal high-budget action/adventure film with automatic graphics and white male heroes, don't worry, I'm sure there's a film or two around where you're still the lead. If you want a lively and innovative science fiction/fantasy film, try this one on for a change!

Charles Herold (cherold) Years ago I used to occasionally read a sci-fi comics magazine called Heavy Metal, which for all I know still exists. It was full of perplexing, often pointless narratives told somewhat incoherently, and was notable mainly for its weird art and fondness for sexy girls.Strange Frame reminds me of that. True, the sexy girls are seen from a lesbian view rather than the straight guy view of most of Heavy Metal, but sexy girls are sexy girls.Besides Heavy Metal, the movie reminds me of East Village indie magazines from the 80s and fan fiction. For me, the movie felt amateurish and slack. The animation did nothing for me. But it reminds me of other things people like that I don't like, so if you like East Village underground art, Heavy Metal, or bad fan fiction, you might love this. I did not.

Ric Warren A beautifully animated dreamlike adventure pulsating with sensuality and rock and roll. An instant cult classic in the spirit of 'Fantastic Planet' (La Planete Sauvage), 'Heavy Metal' with underpinnings of 'Fritz the Cat' and 'Blade Runner'. The character voices are interesting with Tim Curry and Claudia Black standing out. The music is reminiscent of the girl rock sound of the early seventies. Think 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls' meets 'Heart'. The story is complex enough to stay interesting without losing anyone. But, the cut-out style of the animation shows just how creative the animators were to elevate this type of video game style imagery to special heights. Try to see this film in as large a format as you can. It's quite impressive on a extra big TV or at the theater.

karadee123 Definitely not for everyone. If you love the vanilla stories and characters of Hollywood Blockbusters, stay away from this movie. If you like to be spoon fed the plot points and donʻt enjoy digging in the subtext skip this one...but if you have depth and you like going deep, this is exactly what the Doctor ordered. I felt like the whole movie was a walk through some exotic red light district of the future with a soundtrack and voice talent to keep that mood going. Lots of homages to my fave films in there and some of my fave playwrights too! (Did anybody else notice all the Oscar Wilde stuff?)It is a wild ride, but not full of killing and mayhem: full of erotic asides, acid painted walls, poetry, rock and roll.Itʻs an indie movie, so spread the word if you can.
