Critic Reviews

Kim's masterly, poetic ending is the cherry on top in this anime, good for a rainy day or any day.

Deliberately aiming to put Korean animation on the map, [this] is a tour de force blend of CGI, traditional cell animation, miniatures and live footage.

The result is a riveting, eco-wise epic that'll do fans of both Ralph Nader and Katsuhiro Otomo proud.

This is one beautifully drawn, frequently lifelike piece of anime.

Sky Blue is never subtle about its images of loneliness and isolation, or in fact about anything else. But as clichéd as its images are, they're still visually and tonally stunning.

It's a handsome thing, familiar and new at once, thoroughly entertaining if hardly memorable.

When a brilliant fish wriggles by, even a less than ardent anime viewer will want to freeze the frame and gape.

Sky Blue slows things down, creating a ponderous, almost languid movie-going experience.

Offers proof that the Korean animation industry is poised for the big leagues.

The animation is truly breathtaking, the action sequences are spectacular (and sometimes very violent) and everything floats along on the strains of Il Won's spare, hypnotic score.
