Writing for Screen Daily, critic Wendy Ide reported that the film "eschews the source material’s delicate layering of symbolic allusion in favour of a baffling assault of visual non-sequiturs," and that "thanks to the esoteric plotting and disorientating animation, clarity is missing in action."[4] A review on Dove.org described the film as not "look[ing] like your garden-variety animated film" and that "It’s occasionally funny [and] eventually hopeful."[5]
