"Endless Cookie consistently interrupts itself and lampoons the methods of its own creation, especially the fact it took half-brothers Seth and Peter Scriver nine years to finish the thing."
"The stories are manifold and strange: teepee construction; a botched murder stakeout involving a caribou; Peter's angry-punk stint in 80s Toronto; a friend accosted by a clingy snowy owl."
"Under an animation regime that is like SpongeBob SquarePants after an afternoon smoking DMT, one of the film's funders features as a talking slide rule."
"There are serious points raised with wry obliqueness here: about police racism, land theft and, more positively, ancestry and cultural identity."
Endless Cookie is an animated film about a Canadian Cree Indigenous family, blending humor and creativity. It features half-brothers Seth and Peter Scriver, who voice themselves.
