Wrinkles Reviews
Rare is the "cartoon" that penetrates and even haunts; Wrinkles is not easily forgotten.
| Original Score: A- | Dec 3, 2014
Unfolding in simple yet wonderfully expressive hand-drawn frames, the film's unsparingly observant plot depicts the slide into senility with empathy and imagination.

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
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.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 17, 2014
An unsparing look at the winter of life, salted with humour and emotion.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2014
This movie has the same desolate quality as Philip Larkin's poem The Building, and yet it is tender and lovable, too.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 20, 2014
Poignant animated feature about senior citizens is one the year's best Spanish films.

The subject of old age gets the kind of attention it deserves but is too rarely afforded in the affecting Wrinkles.
