New Janko the Musician Audience Reviews

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
MartinHafer This Jan Lenica animated short reminds me a bit of the animations done by Terry Gilliam for "Monty Python's Flying Circus", though it isn't nearly as clever or well done. But, like Gilliam, Lenica appeared to have taken pictures (mostly drawings) and cutting them out--and animating them using stop-motion. While such films might interest me, this one never really caught my attention mostly because the quality of the animation is suspect and the story itself not especially enjoyable. In fact, much of it is very surreal and weird--just plain weird. While I could try to describe it, it really defies description and consists of flying machines, a bizarre mechanical cow, angels, Pegasus, money falling from the sky and other things--almost randomly placed in the film. It made my brain hurt but I can appreciate the work that went into this.
