 What does the film reviewer respect the most about the director of "The Limey"?
A view of nature that some would call "tree-hugging" doesn't feel softheaded when the trees are rendered in such brilliant and robust detail. He's both inside and outside the action: He knows when to rock your world and when to induce a state of sorrowful detachment. According to the New York Times , Toy Story animators screened reels of his work when their imaginations flagged, and writers for Star Trek named an alien species after one of his features. The movie has a scope that makes Hollywood's homiletic, follow-your-dream fables look even more solipsistic.
