	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Outstanding (...) portrays a surreal world dominated by old-fashioned, artfully designed heavy machinery."	POS
United States	Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times	"Takes place in a baroque future that recalls Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's "Delicatessen" and "The City of Lost Children." The plot runs out of steam quickly, but the film's artful details are breathtaking."	NEU
United States	Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer	"A steam-punk fantasy that brings Belgian artist Stéphane Halleux's mechanical sculptures into a sublime 3-D animation realm (...) a 12-minute gem."	POS
United States	Tom Keogh Seattle Times	"A busy, visual delight set in a half-human, half-machine world."	POS
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"Builds a dreary but still dazzling steampunk world."	POS
