artsy indie thing won't appeal to everyone
19 February 2014
Years ago I used to occasionally read a sci-fi comics magazine called Heavy Metal, which for all I know still exists. It was full of perplexing, often pointless narratives told somewhat incoherently, and was notable mainly for its weird art and fondness for sexy girls.

Strange Frame reminds me of that. True, the sexy girls are seen from a lesbian view rather than the straight guy view of most of Heavy Metal, but sexy girls are sexy girls.

Besides Heavy Metal, the movie reminds me of East Village indie magazines from the 80s and fan fiction.

For me, the movie felt amateurish and slack. The animation did nothing for me.

But it reminds me of other things people like that I don't like, so if you like East Village underground art, Heavy Metal, or bad fan fiction, you might love this. I did not.
