Our take

Director Tatia Rosenthal’s feature debut, this vibrant stop-motion production is adapted from the stories of Israeli author Etgar Keret. Unfolding like an animated Robert Altman movie, and with a voice cast that includes Geoffrey Rush, $9.99 is a surreal, existential tale of intersecting lives.
