Cheatin' Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Cheatin' has a real knack for illustrating a fascinating moment that just so happens to involve characters.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
There's a messy beauty to the scribbled hatching and extremely loose shapes jittering in their imperfections from one frame to the next.
SF Weekly
Jonathan Kiefer
Movement is of the essence here, and it's really something to see these irrepressibly protean figures put through their emotional paces.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Now and again, the movie feels like a compilation of short "Plymptoons" that happen to share a theme and a pair of characters.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The story is stuffed with exaggeration, elongation, elaboration, but it's all in the service of making a commonplace circumstance - love - look like it feels when it happens to you, i.e. the very opposite of commonplace.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Plympton will be cheated if "Cheatin'" doesn't at least get nominated for a best animated feature Oscar.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
The whole range of human emotion - love, lust, anger, jealousy, despair, grief - is felt through Plympton's animation. It's just a shame that his boundless creativity doesn't extend to the narrative.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bruce Ingram
The film is extremely rich in visual inventiveness and depth of feeling -- with numerous sequences that could almost pass muster as individual shorts.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Bill Plympton's latest feature-length animation, about a loving couple riven by infidelity, contains some of his loveliest fantasy sequences, though the gap between his visual and storytelling skills persists.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Erik McClanahan
At times it comes to life, but for the most part it's a bit one-note and repetitive.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
"Cheatin'" is a highlight of Plympton's robust body of work because motion-not the journey, or the destination-is always its creator's priority.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
Even at 76 minutes it feels stretched, but Plympton's vivid hand-drawn visuals-one sequence hurls a man through a boxcar, into the sky, underwater, and off a cliff-never lose their electric charge.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Like every other great animator, from Chuck Jones to Hayao Miyazaki, Mr. Plympton rewrites the laws of physics at will, but within a rigorous and coherent logic. He conjures a world of absolute improbability that, somehow, makes perfect sense.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
Like trying to drink a gallon of chocolate syrup without a milk chaser.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
Cheatin' offers little narrative or emotional advantage over watching a series of the director's more concise works. At 76 minutes, it should play like a short feature. Instead, it's more like an extra-long short.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
It's hard to imagine any American studio movie this year that possesses the same liberating creativity found here.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
If you were a Bill Plympton character, your skull would be riven open by the experience of watching Cheatin', the animator's first feature since '08.
Slant Magazine
Oleg Ivanov
The plot is pure pulp, inspired in equal parts by the tropes and imagery of film noir, grand opera, and silent melodrama.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Solomon
At a time when so many computer-generated features have an increasingly homogenized look, Plympton is a welcome reminder that the art of animation is too protean to be limited to a single visual style, medium or point of view.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Strife and sexual humor reign in this energetic romp, one of Bill Plympton's best longform animated works.
