Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I did not go into this with very high expectations, but was looking for something original to watch with my seven year old daughter. She loves animals and I thought it would be fun for her at least. It was a cute film with mild humor (Don't expect to laugh at the intended jokes). However, I thought the voice over was a bit annoying, the acting was so-so. However, the movie had a few redeeming moments when we could watch the pandas playing and wrestling about and doing cute panda antics. Overall my daughter would have given it a 10 and I would have given it a humbling 6, so I compromised and gave it an 8. It is a film which I surely will not watch a second time, however, I am glad to have seen it once.
