Mandibules
Mandibles
There’s no moral or metaphor to be drawn from these hijinks, though
the film’s unexpected humanity is the ace up its sleeve: It’s a testament to the wonderfully synched, spacy performances of
Ludig and Marsais that we feel as much for these useless bros, with their dorky secret handshake and genuine care for each
other, as one can possibly feel for characters essentially drawn as stick figures with bad hair. Even the fly, perfectly named
Dominique, is adorable against all odds: a marvelous feat of puppetry that turns out to have the eager temperament of a family
dog, as well as its size. You leave MANDIBLES briefly thinking a trained pet fly mightn’t be a bad idea: Such is the power
of Dupieux’s infectious idiocy. (Guy Lodge, Variety)
