"[I]t’s a challenging film that messes with audience perception—from its archaic and otherworldly animation to a self-reflexive voice-over narrative read in a digitized voice by Miami artist Agustina Woodgate…. [T]he film is a testament to the metaphysical. The Sun Like a Big Dark Animal explores the cognitive dissonance where the conscious and subconscious meet—where a dreamer seeks to be recognized by her dream, and those in the dream look like peanuts working in an office."
