	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"This terrific toon evokes a lost era of animation — and storytelling in general."	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A surreal sci-fi period piece that reimagines mid-20th century Paris as a smog-filled (...) Napoleonic empire whose future lies in the hands of an orphaned young woman."	POS
