Wrinkles Reviews
'Wrinkles' the film found no direct response to a massive interest in Spanish cinema for comics or, as we will see, to serve as an example of how a comic should be treated when moving it to 24 frames per second. [Full Review in Spanish]

Its plot may be slight ... but Wrinkles is charming, sad, humorous, difficult and, for a few brief shining moments, an absolute joy.
| Original Score: 3.75/5 | Jul 18, 2019
Ferraras' Wrinkles has enough heart and soul to bypass the morose mawkishness of many of its modern comparables.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2019
A very moving heartfelt film.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 13, 2019
With its wry moments and poetic interludes, this is a film that takes its time, though time is all the old-age home's residents have. But it's the mixture of melancholy, wistfulness, and ennui here that makes the headiest, heartiest cocktail.

Rare is the "cartoon" that penetrates and even haunts; Wrinkles is not easily forgotten.
| Original Score: A- | Dec 3, 2014
Literally dedicated to "all the old people of today, and of tomorrow," this animated look at aging is deeply humanistic, immensely moving, often hilarious and quite, quite wonderful.

Unfolding in simple yet wonderfully expressive hand-drawn frames, the film's unsparingly observant plot depicts the slide into senility with empathy and imagination.
| Jul 3, 2014
Wrinkles doesn't offer the aesthetic rewards necessary to make its sad material compelling.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 3, 2014
Heavy doses of humor and empathy, along with gorgeous hand-drawn animation, keep things from getting too morbid.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 3, 2014
A beautiful, subtle horror movie about the rigors of old age, made all the more horrifying because it will happen to all of us fortunate enough to live a long life.
| Jul 2, 2014
In its visionary dream and flashback sequences, the film becomes a comment on the rapidly diminished state of traditional animation.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 30, 2014
The film doesn't wallow in grief; it's a thoughtful and nuanced portrait of a stage of life we often choose not to see.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 30, 2014
Lots to love here, but it's all perhaps a little soft.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2014
Wrinkles is a nuanced, rich look at human frailty and the beauty of life, alternating between frank and tenderly humane notes with perfect precision, making the conventional beats its story does hit genuinely poignant.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 24, 2014
A charming production, poignant and tender and one that is bound to move and compel you - while remaining so effortlessly subtle throughout.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2014
A surprising thing indeed - an intelligent, entertaining, altogether unsentimental evocation of the experience of old age.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 20, 2014
The animation is simple but lovely.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2014
The film has a defiance and humour reminiscent of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's far more uplifting than its subject matter might suggest.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2014
It's a compact and obliquely moving film, deftly constructed to let the dying of the light arrive, not as sunset, but a kind of dawn.
