Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?

"An inspired meeting of idiosyncratic minds."

"Gondry's delightful stick-figure drawings-such as a living question mark ascending a staircase made of Whys-ably illustrate Chomsky's concepts."

"Its modesty is one of its strengths, along with Mr. Gondry's entrancing, vibrant illustrations."

"In the nicest possible way, this is teacher-and-pupil stuff."

"Even though Gondry and Chomsky's very different sensibilities don't mesh in such a way that either man's work gains substantially from the alliance, they're each such good company individually that [this] is still entertaining."

"An almost entirely hand-drawn, animated film that was clearly a labor of love for the director and has enough charm to reach a wider audience than his other recent docs."
