A cool and classy approach to Auto and Bio
swifttwain9 June 2015
I really liked the use of animation and humor to treat heavy topics, respectfully, and lightly - classy, funny, smart and humane. It really helped you open up to the story, and suddenly you realize - wow, that was deep, or heavy, or insightful...Really thoughtful writing and editing.

The review of really recent Turkish history made me realize how much I didn't learn at school.

Plus, a subtle and fun tour of utopias... Worth watching if you have to read Plato, Merton, or Friedman - Utopists who just don't realize their heaven on earth is hellish.

I just hope this filmmaker keeps going - I'm curious to see how she treats other subjects, people, etc.

A loving dystopian portrait of an inveterate Utopist

I really enjoyed this film.

How not too? A woman with a crazily Utopian father shows restraint, humor, irony and love, while putting all her cards on the table in this memorable and imaginative portrait.

The use of mixed media to lighten the drama, and fill in the missing scenes, while adding even more humanity to work is refreshing and inspiring for young filmmakers.

Her love and compassion and tolerance do not stop her from confronting the family demons. At the same time, she accepts the eccentricities with irony and grace, giving them beauty and weight while maintaining a subtle

Perhaps a better title: Me, My Father, and His Utopias or Surviving Utopists, 101
