Absolutely spellbinding, this whole film is a work of art and a work of magic.

Madame Beudet is depressed and her husband (the time-travelling love child of John Goodman and Mike Meyers) is a manipulative asshole who likes to be "funny" by pretending to shoot himself.

The story kind of tells itself and yet, the dramatic climax is so intoxicating to watch, Madame Beudet's acting is so impressive, and some of the visual effects are so fascinating that you forget it's a silent film from almost 100 years ago.

I’d been wishing for a movie this beautiful and this true to the comic book format for years now and I could not have been happier with how my wish came true. Every frame is a work of art, this is so far beyond the best animation I’ve seen in recent years, it’s a thing to be studied and constantly inspired by. A truly incredible work of art and love.

none of the founding fathers rapped in this film :(
