April and the Twisted World

[Bamyasi]

I was skeptical at first because all I knew going in was that it shared producers with Persepolis, which I didn't much care for (autobiographical graphic novels I find kind of insufferable), but by the end I was pretty enthralled by the plotting, which not even a bland MC and her unflattering design could detract from. I was surprised it managed to not lose steam (rimshot) throughout its entire 100 minutes.

I give it 7 sips out of 10. Worth seeing I guess.

I absolutely loved Persepolis, can't believe you'd write it off as 'insufferable' merely because it's autobiographic?

Well I also haven't seen it since I was 13.
