Wow, if you all hated Sita this much, you would absolutely loathe Nina Paley's other film, Seder-Masochism, which is basically a crudely animated Spotify playlist that tries to comment on vast amounts of history and Jewish religious tradition and can't say anything more profound than "men bad."

That said, I did find Sita Sings the Blues somewhat charming, although the rapturous reviews from when it first came out are pretty baffling. I won't deny that Paley is a talented animator and it's pretty remarkable that she did this mostly single-handedly. The film works best when it's sardonically retelling the Ramayana with old blues music and is at its worst when it's stretching to tie its ancient myth to Paley's personal life. Say what you will about Harry Potter but at least the monstrous bigot who created it had the decency to stay in the background.

That's all.
