Substream Magazine

Leigh Monson

My Life as a Zucchini is a modern classic in its own right, a touching examination of the struggles of youth in extreme circumstances.

....an utterly charming French claymation...

Zucchini dares to take on some fairly heavy subjects... but it does so with delicacy and compassion, showing the survival skills and resiliency of these expressive and intricately crafted characters. It's an exceptionally heartfelt offering.

With red frosted noses, sleepy bobble eyes, and oversize, oblong heads, the stop-motion munchkins of My Life as a Zucchini are figures approached with curious affection.

As devastating as the film can be, it is also sublimely joyous.
