(6-Good Film)

Clever. Imaginative. Quick.

An imaginative seven year old finds his happy home invaded by a new baby brother, but, unbeknown to his parents and other adults, this newcomer is actually a shrewd businessman (with the voice of Alec Baldwin recalling his Glengarry Glen Ross performance). Surprisingly clever and creative throughout with wildly imaginative visuals, a fast-paced energy, and a diverse use of animation styles. Amusingly establishes its unreliable narrator and does a pretty solid job of sustaining its gimmick from start to finish. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised.
