It’s a movie of pregnant pauses and deep considerations masquerading as insight, and one that’s consistently sterile in its presentation. Go to Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable Mar 14
Anima is a touching story of human connection in a world where tech suggests we can do without. Moving and meditative, this drama is a ride well worth the taking. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Mar 13

While the film flirts with high-concept science fiction, its heart remains entirely and painfully human. A deeply moving, cross-cultural retrofuturistic drama. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
