Rating: 8/10 --
What begins as a comfy film about an old (if stubborn) British couple in their twilight years becomes a scathing attack on apathy.

...A satiric, unsentimental identity of its own....Brutally funny seriousness...
New York Times
...A classy animated feature....A remarkable non-political film that is both funny and touching...
Variety
A jewel, with capital letters, of the animated cinema of all time. [Full Review in Spanish]
