My Sunny Maad

"[Pavlátová] cannily uses the medium to depict the deep emotion and bitter humor of the story" 

"A winning combination of gorgeous 2D animation and an involving storyline (...) Despite its vignette structure, the film finds time to build texture and depth into characters" 

"I found myself longing for something like Marjane Satrapi's 'Persepolis', which succeeds in being critical of oppressive cultural practices without flattening its characters into political talking points (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"A touching and enlightening tale that’s accessible to all audiences but which also manages to show welcome restraint when it comes to the risk of melodrama and the brand of Western world judgement which often hangs over a subject such as this" 

"A moving animated film depicting the lengths people will go for family (...) For all the troubles this family faces, there's a sense of life going on"
