Marona's Fantastic Tale Ratings & Reviews
Video Librarian Magazine
Ally Ham
Damian and her skilled production crew take a simplistic vision of a dog's life and execute it with remarkable nuance and sophisticated technique.
KMUW - Wichita Public Radio
Fletcher Powell
A gorgeous, sad, thrilling, elevating experience that I never expected to have.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Beautiful, heart-tugging dog drama has some sad moments.
Polygon
Petrana Radulovic
Romanian director Anca Damian weaves a beautifully poignant story of a little dog and the humans she loves.
CultureCatch
Brandon Judell
Throughout, limbs stretch and contort and fly this way and that, faces crumble and reassemble, and every artistic phase from early Picasso onwards seems to be reflected here with quantum fluctuations of line.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
It reiterates that the love our dogs have for us is unconditional and that we shouldn't regard them as accessories or temporary means of respite. It's also a phantasmagoric feast for the eyes. Seek it out.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Each sequence carries a different tone, a reflection of Marona's inner life and inner light. Even in her tragic end, her fantastic tale keeps wagging with hope.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
A cartoon that appreciates dogs as dogs, and treats one dog's life with the gravity and compassion we'd want expressed at a memorial service for a human of no importance who meant everything.
San Francisco Examiner
Anita Katz
In this world full of hate and brutality, dogs love humans generously and unconditionally, and the animated adventure Marona's Fantastic Tale charmingly illustrates their bighearted, loyal spirit.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
the animators bring her into existence with a lap of her mother's tongue, using it like a paintbrush... This beautiful story is animated with uniquely surreal visuals
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
Each stop on Marona's episodic journey is rendered gorgeously by director Anca Damian and her animators, with a kaleidoscope of styles and colors.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
The film stays buoyant through its unique, boisterous animation.
CBR
Reuben Baron
More than anything, the film looks like no other film you've seen before. Just as Marona herself is a mutt of who knows how many breeds, the artistic DNA of Marona's Fantastic Tale appears to spring from a menagerie of disparate sources.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
While it's sometimes dizzying in its visuals or its joy, it's often not cute. It can be fun, even exhilarating. It can also carry the emotional impact of loss.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The makers draw out the dog lover in me and evoke a great deal of empathy and hope for the little girl. In the end, it is a fantastic tale.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
Probably would work better as a short but I loved the visuals and the dog is super cute
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Beautifully realised, this should be your film of choice if you want to persuade someone to adopt a puppy. It will make you want to take home every dog you meet for at least the next week. It's a little bit of magic.
Variety
Peter Debruge
"Marona" feels vibrant and upbeat even in moments of melancholy - like diving into an artistic child's sketchbook and watching the illustrations splash to life all around.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Damian depicts how truly difficult a dog's life can be - but how it can also have its fleeting moments of joy...
