I remember seeing this at a theater screening of Oscar nominated animated shorts. I'd done no research and wasn't expecting a Don Hertzfeldt entry. I loved it and it's since become one of my favorite modern sci fi movies. An older woman in the lobby was complaining about it afterwards and I still think it's funny how different pieces can speak to people in such wildly different ways.
