Coraline

Superbly animated and amazing to behold, the story becomes weirder and weirder until it plunges through the looking-glass and into weird-ass, balls-tripping, Lewis Carroll territory. There were lengthy periods when I had no idea what was going on or what the HELL I was watching, but it sure was pretty. The fine work and detail is all on screen, and the filmmaking is commendable. But it’s freaky. Don’t take the kids.
