Reviews


83
The A.V. Club - Unnamed
Toys In The Attic is its own dark creation, filled with imagery reminiscent of Tim Burton in his prime as well as the odd Cold War metaphor.
75
Slant Magazine - Nick Schager
Jirí Barta's film is a disturbing through-the-looking-glass reflection of traditional fairy tales.
75
New York Post - Unnamed
The movie is passionately retro, but Barta shows his methods can create a world every bit as engrossing as the latest CGI.
70
The New York Times - Manohla Dargis
The movie should be manna for anyone who likes animated fantasias without wisecracks, commercials and overwrought warbling about self-actualization, meaning that it's suitable for those who will grow up either to be the next Tim Burton or simply to enjoy his movies.
70
Los Angeles Times - Unnamed
The narrative, though, is mere scaffolding for Barta's richly realized world, a kind of hand-hewn 3-D cinema that's testament to the limitlessness of imagination.
