Girl is a welcome reminder that animation doesn't have to be synonymous with realistically rendered CG, but can be a means of artistic expression as uniquely personal as a signature.

Eye for Film

There's an old fashioned, storybook quality to this that suits the nature of the tale. It's elegantly realised and has plenty of appeal for adults as well as its target audience.

With dialogue and characterization at a minimum, the real draw of "The Girl Without Hands" is the visuals. The animation looks as if Laudenbach's personal sketchbook has erupted into life on the screen, with impressionistic flourishes.

Laudenbach's style is haunting. Some of his artwork stops you in your tracks. What he does best is create a palpable sense of dread without pushing, without tilting into melodrama.

Although this film's style is soft and colorful, it does not rub out the emotional sharpness of a story dealing with betrayal, suicide and death.

Alternate Ending

The kind of thing that cinema is uniquely capable of, and animation is uniquely capable of within cinema.

Writer-director (and co-editor) Sèbastien Laudenbach strives and largely succeeds in his effort to produce a finished animated film with the vivacity and evocative power of a rough sketchbook.
