Review of Mind Game (2004) by Mary H — 14 Jul 2007

How do you rate something like this? It has no real plot to speak of. Instead it's almost two hours of insanely beautiful, ugly, vivid, & stunning animation. The first half is truly exhilirating, particularly when you begin to piece together the opening five minute montage further into the flick.

But the second half, despite have many wonderful visual flourishes, just drags too long. The espape from the Whale scene purposefully dragging until it's just excruciating! Still, a novel, inventive, & refreshing Anime film.
