Press Quotes

The Congress is part live action and part Ralph Bakshi fever dream, but all nightmare. It paints a vision of the future where individuality and anything resembling free will is supplanted by delicious chemical cocktails and a candy-coated reversal.

     —Samuel B. Prime, Slant Magazine

A half-live-action, half-animated headtrip that throws Robin Wright into a dizzying showbiz paradigm shift.

     —Tom Russo, Boston Globe

This is an extraordinary film, a unique film, the kind of film that reminds us of the true power of science fiction to comment on our society.

     —Mattie Lucas, From The Front Row
