      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Am

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a color scheme that is warm and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with pleasing contrast and shadow delineation. The overall appearance is easy on the eyes. There are few distractions in the way of edge enhancement or pixelization. The picture is perfectly complementary to the quirky storytelling. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #62 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only place to go for no-nonsense evaluations of the audio and video qualities of a DVD before you drop your hard-earned cash for it. In an industry where the subjective is usually described in the most arcane manner possible (to the exclusion of the unwashed masses), WSR's clear and objective-as-you-can-get reviews give me the information I need to make purchasing decisions confidently.
