Spin (p.74) - "Over acoustic fingerpicking, splashing cymbals, and languidly twanging steel guitar, Nadler inhabits her strongest set of songs yet..."Paste (magazine) - "[An] immensely confident and haunting album....Nadler has managed to find new corners of her psych-folk sound to explore..."Record Collector (magazine) - "Nadler embeds vivid lyrical imagery into rich, elegant and morose soundscapes."Uncut (magazine) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "These plangent, pared-back arrangements owe a great deal to Judee Sill and Cat Power's Nashville adventures, but they also support what is probably Nadler's strongest collection of songs to date."40.56023

Just enjoy." Rolling Stone "Charming and droll with shrewdly chosen voices....[An] adorable exercise in whimsy..."USA Today "[I]t is both welcome and astonishing to see how successful Park's unlikely pairing of his own idiosyncratic sensibility with the most labor-intensive form of animation has become....[The film] retains the clever, one-of-a-kind sensibility that made its shorter predecessors so delightful."Los Angeles Times "The movie rollicks with visual slapstick, puns, and drive-by joke-cluster bombs that fall on young and adult viewers alike with such good aim..." -- Grade: A Entertainment Weekly "Immensely funny, intelligently silly and beautifully made....The protagonists are solid cartoon types absent from cinema since Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck..." Sight and Sound "A wonderful confection of slapstick and horror ingredients, WERE-RABBIT enhances the W&G universe as it continues to grow in stop-motion complexity and craftsmanship." Premiere "[A] treasure trove of cleverness. And in its old-school claymation, the film is closer to the endearing Gumby reels of yore than today's sterile Pixar productions." Rolling Stone5.593052
