To paraphrase a song sort of. Although I'm pretty sure that most people will have no clue whatsoever about this "animal" referred in the title. I actually almost had forgotten about this movie too. But I remembered it after reading the user comments all too clear (unfortunately).
While it does look and feel artistic, that does not mean you have to like it because it is different. I liked the mood it created at the beginning. But soon the annoying characters took over. Of course you need different kinds of people when you want follow through with a thin story like this. Unfortunately they don't seem that much different. And maybe that's the point (I have no clue what the point is, though I have made my own conclusion).
But for the movie to really completely work, it just drags too much. The pace is just too slow and too many "errors" (not to mention character based choices that do not work motivation-wise) in the script and other mishaps just lessen the enjoyment of the movie. A shame then, but not every movie works for everybody ... Maybe you'll be enticed by the otherworldliness of it all and won't mind the "minor" details along the way (pun intended)
