Considering the many visual possibilities the animated medium, I kinda was expecting this movie to include far more of Buñuel's trademark surrealism: While there are a couple of elements which could have been considered surrealistic in a couple of scenes (Particularly in the sequence referecing Dali's Elephants), the movie is rather down to earth, being also more than willing to show the flaws Buñuel had as a person rather than exalting him. (Though he is still portrayed in a very sympathetic manner)
It is also very entertaining to watch. While officially this isn't a comedy (At least, it isn't labelled as such here on the Internet movie database) all the humorous scenes made me laugh a lot, being very well-balanced with the serious and emotional moments.
The animation is a bit uneven in a couple of scenes, but I personally liked a lot the aeasthetic of the character designs, which are simple, but very appealing and very expressive.
I have to wonder how much of the events depicted here are true and how much is fiction. If at least half of it is true, then working with Buñuel in a film must have been an almost unbearable task.
