Aubier and Patar aren't trying to make any profound statements about life or create any existential conundrums, they're just looking to entertain, and in A Town Called Panic, they have found a gloriously wacky avenue to do just that.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 5, 2019

This is film is so hard to describe but it's just absurdist and ridiculous and...funny.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 13, 2019

A Town Called Panic's frenetic pace and bizarre set pieces are truly refreshing and a joy to behold.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2018

Bizarre and sophisticated enough for adults and children, A Town Called Panic makes you want to live in an upside-down house occupied by a horse.

The truth is that you have to be in the mood to enjoy this film without falling asleep, getting bored or confused. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2018

A little goes a very long way, and even at 75 minutes it ends up feeling silly and self-indulgent.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 4, 2018

The frenetic scenarios should play fairly well as energizing for kids and ridiculous for adults.

Stop-motion comedy adventure with subtitles, a few curses.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 14, 2011

Charming and highly original but a little of it goes a long way.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 11, 2010

Though it probably works best in short bursts on DVD, it might just be wacky and strange enough to appeal to kids who'll simply accept it for what it is.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 11, 2010

Chaotic, warped and impervious to logic a total treasure just waiting to be discovered.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 11, 2010

A very small amount of this would be funny. But here, there's 77 minutes of it. And that's about 76 minutes and 30 seconds too much to stomach in one sitting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2010

Bounces around with a hyperactive dementia that somehow never flags.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 8, 2010

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2010

Studded with surreal and unexpectedly tender touches (kamikaze cows, an elegantly lovestruck horse), this is plastic and fantastic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 7, 2010

Like a very lo-fi Toy Story with the vibe of a live-action Terry Gilliam cartoon and the addled craziness of SpongeBob SquarePants; it's funny for adults and children alike in a refreshing, barking mad sort of way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2010
