Little Otik

É um terrir, mas com boas atuações. O roteiro peca um pouco, especialmente no fim, e a edição poderia ser melhorada evitando um filme de 2h. O stop motion é uma ótima sacada.

An overbloated run-time dilutes a simple but arresting premise told through eerie and unsettling stop motion. There just isn't quite enough content here to stretch it out so long. I was waiting for it to end from near the halfway mark. 6.7 stars.

Well that was weird.

This was a wonderful movie, but very disturbing. I couldn't give it higher becuase none of the characters in the movie have any morals. I would highly recommend to give this watch.

It's unusual and unsettling!

Typically dark and visual Jan Svankmajer direction but with a clear narrative.

It is an ugly, weird, horrifying pony. Nevertheless is a one-trick-pony. It bored me quite a lot and the end was a letdown too. Shame

Amazing!!! This is probably Svankmajers most rounded film from a more mainstream point of view.

A childless couple have tried everything, but they just don't get children. As a light pun the man digs up a root looking like a little boy. His wife takes it really seriously and things are settled. They have a stick as a kid. The stick also turn out to be a huge challenge, not only for the parents, but also the rest of the block. Well acted and super characters makes it even more interesting. Weird and disturbing. Spooky and creative. Funny and adventure-like. This film is like no other, and very hard to describe. It's very far out, bizarre but beautiful. It moves a bit slow and I really miss more of Svankmajers superb animations. While other films of his are more driven by animations, this is a lot more plot-driven. The plot is very cool but his fantastic ability to make objects move and morph is more rewardable for me. I'm very glad I saw it. Not only for it's uniqueness but the ability to make a story like this so "natural". Still the production looks pretty poor. The colors are gray and dull and the pace makes it boring at times. It's a bit too long. 7.5 out of 10 pervy old men.

a very odd movie that holds its own and yet is entertaining and funny, with some horror aspects to it. the premise of a man making a boy out of wood that comes to life may seem like Pinocchio but this is not it. a dark spin to it and more mature dealings, this is not for the littles. a weird watch but not bad.
