Reception



Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter said "Swiss director Anja Kofmel revisits the wild life and strange death of her war reporter cousin with an innovative blend of animation and documentary". Jessica Kiang from Variety praises the animation "Her animations are particularly lovely, evoking the hero worship she felt as a child for her larger-than-life relative the boldly drawn continuous lines of black and white, solid and simple, in which Chris forever wears an identifying stripy scarf, and the bad guys, like Chico with his dark-ringed eyes and widows peak, have the decency to look like villains."
