Variety
Variety"Gondry's delightful stick-figure drawings-such as a living question mark ascending a staircase made of Whys-ably illustrate Chomsky's concepts."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Its modesty is one of its strengths, along with Mr. Gondry's entrancing, vibrant illustrations."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"In the nicest possible way, this is teacher-and-pupil stuff."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Even though Gondry and Chomsky's very different sensibilities don't mesh in such a way that either man's work gains substantially from the alliance, they're each such good company individually that [this] is still entertaining."
—
The Dissolve
The Dissolve"An almost entirely hand-drawn, animated film that was clearly a labor of love for the director and has enough charm to reach a wider audience than his other recent docs."
