To borrow from Lisa Schwarzbaum's A review, ''Israeli filmmaker Ari Folman's extraordinary and painfully timely autobiographical documentary of remembered life during wartime...uses animation as a way to face memories that might otherwise be unbearable, or even unretrievable. In its own distinct way, the movie makes serious, political use of the freeing possibilities of animation.... To tell Folman's story 'straight' would be to miss the waking-nightmare sensations of war.''
