M. Dot Strange’s first feature, “We Are the Strange” is wildly inventive and endlessly fascinating. Its animation (both computer generated and stop-motion) is never content to present one image (or style) at a time, giving viewers a near overload of excitement. The plot consists of little more than two outcasts trying to buy ice cream and ending up in a battle to prevent the end of the world, but the story here is nearly beside the point. Love it or hate it, any movie lover will see this as a sign both of what movies may look like in the future and as an announcement of a stunningly original voice in filmdom.
YES (8/10)
