    Film Threat | Eric Campos

    It's pretty basic here. You have a Bill Plympton movie. You know what to expect complete rampant insanity from the mind of a mad genius. Read full review

    Boston Globe | Wesley Morris

    If Plympton is making pastiche, he's also having a laugh at a universal experience that for a lot of people was probably pretty crummy. Apparently, it was a little crummier for him. Read full review

    L.A. Weekly | Ernest Hardy

    Famed animator Bill Plympton's legendarily skewed aesthetic and worldview are in top form here, bringing life to a script that plays like "Carrie" on a wicked acid trip. Read full review

    Variety | Dennis Harvey

    Seattle Post-Intelligencer | Sean Axmaker

    When Plympton's freak flag flies, Hair High delivers the same whacked-out weirdness of his shorts. The rest of the film simply stretches out the simple premise and marks time between his ideas. Read full review

    The New York Times | Neil Genzlinger

    The terrain is so familiar that it has a slightly stifling effect, even in Mr. Plympton's demented hands. We long ago loved these characters to death. Read full review
