I'll try to keep this review short but first I absolutely need to praise the visuals of this movie. A Scanner Darkly uses rotoscoping in such a way that I can say it's some of the most gorgeous animation I have ever laid my eyes on.

The only problem with this is the visuals may distract you from the story (which sadly happened with me on more than one occasion). I loved this film but I wish I could have loved it more. I must blame myself.

What I mean is that I found this movie way too confusing during the second act. Now, again, this is my fault. I feel some more viewings will help me appreciate A Scanner Darkly even more.
