What people are saying
‘A gloriously weird and wildly introspective punk rock puppet show for the soul...a film that is worthy of being wrestled with...The acting is exceptional...Come for the puppets, stay for the crisis of faith.‘
Alan Ng
‘This is not a film that tries to please anyone: it's rough, uncomfortable, strangely funny and deeply personal... a punk scream disguised as a children's show... a mix of nihilism, black humor and inexplicable tenderness... It's an uncomfortable experience, yes. But also a brave one--- original, raw and very, very alive.‘
Film Critical Space
‘Raucous... very brash...Takes the tone of something like Sesame Street or Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and makes it adult...Unexpectedly sympathetic...passionate in a critical way without becoming harsh or stubborn...Extremely creative...it strongly taps into that punk and anarchic vibe while holding on to a curious yet frank tone.‘
Rebecca
‘I’d Rather Be Turned Into Cat Food... blends animation and puppetry into a cynical philosophical discussion trying to tease out the truth about life, love, and God.‘
