The movie has been playing in Toronto for about two weeks.
If you go, I suggest you check the theatre out first for a reasonable
sound system.  Not surprisingly, the music is absolutely essential to
the movie, particularly since there is no real dialogue or narrative in
the movie apart from the PF soundtrack.  Critical reaction to the movie
in Toronto has been lukewarm to hostile, which is understandable since the
critics don't know the music (a conclusion easily ascertained from reading
the reviews).  The images in the movie are impressive, but perhaps overdone
at times.  The animation sequences are really something, although I objected
to the negative way in which women were portrayed in those images that
contained sexual metaphors.  (Several images depicted a heterosexual
relationship as somewhat of a praying mantis metaphor--the female pm,
as we know, has this penchant for devouring her mate after coupling.)
Anyone who likes the PF album will like the movie.  I'm in that category.
