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
