Avis des critiques

With its rising directors each employing a surreal style, ["The House"] creates a rich balance of ethereal, existential storytelling with stop-motion animation that’s so detailed and alive you can practically feel it on your fingertips.

Even if you fail to connect with the stories, you'll be awed by the artistry of it all; the feeling of magic... The type of magic that can make the world feel new again. 

If the content of the stories had matched the painstaking form, the anthology could have been rather a groundbreaking success. As it is, the architects need to go back to the drawing board.

The art direction of each segment is so rich you can feel the power the house has over its inhabitants, just as the strong voice work of the cast brings to life a deeper well of emotions than you’d expect from creepy dolls and anthropomorphic animals... “The House” offers a striking showcase for the singular talents of its directors and the limitless possibilities of stop motion animation.

Though all of the roughly half-hour segments are handsomely made, the series as a whole lacks a sturdy foundation... The House’s technical craft outstrips the stories that it tells.

It’s not for everyone, but with a short runtime and idiosyncratic direction, The House tells a transportive series of fables for fans of the less-beaten path.

It’s an almost ideal anthology: connected and yet standalone. And, at around 30 minutes each, the chapters are short enough that they don’t overstay their welcome, while also being strange enough to stick with you.
