4/5
Touching, exciting, innovative film
by Jaideep Punjabi (Chicago, IL)
I had the pleasure of checking out the film at a Festival in New York. The animation has a unique home made, heartfelt and endearing quality. It is visually delightful. The juxtaposition of the director's contemporary, emotional journey alongside a character from hindu mythology is a remarkably difficult to execute. She pulls it of with sensitivity and transports the audience to a period in her life. The use of witty shadow puppets as narrators is fantastic and I strongly recommend the film. It is an enjoyable, mature, non-disney like use of animation which is rare. The vision is undeniable and I am looking forward to see what the filmmaker does next.
5/5
Amazing depth
by Ramesh Ramaswamy (Ojai CA.)
A film of amazing emotional depth , Sita Sings the Blues is not merely animated personal mythology. The film combines the creative talents of cartoonist Nina Paley with a selection of (what are now) standards from the 1920's Blues singer Annette Hanshaw (think Bessie smith without the lugubriousness) and some honest pictorial rendering of the Indian myth "The Ramayana".
Sita Sings the Blues is Pre-Cinema. If much of today's Hollywood film scripting owes itself to comic books, this film fits easily within the creative embryo of the genre and produces a minimalist ,illustrated video comic that blends disparate audio and visual styles with a narrative personal mythology , so original that it is capable of influencing a whole genration of artists and filmmakers.
Sita's story (the Ramayana is a very well known tale and Ill skip repeating the epic here) has always been the lost voice in the telling of the epic. "The blues" corrects this historical slight in a very satisfying way.

Beautiful, funny, tragic, unique - a must see!
by dafilmmaker (los angeles, CA)
An incredible film, often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, always entertaining. I was impressed that such totally different elements - a tragic Hindu epic, a failed modern marriage, a 1920's blues singer and an eclectic assortment of animation styles - could all blend together so seamlessly. A must see!
5/5
Sita please sing some more!
by Leetae E. Cobb
Bring it on Amitabh Bachchan and move over Shahrukh Khan, there is a new modern stud in town, Ramayana in the internet sensation Sita Sings the Blues. It is easy to sit down and fall beneath the spell of the animated multi media film. However the strung together story that switches between the modern day and the ancient past is more then the Powder Puff girls 20 centuries ago. The film takes on an old popular Indian epic legend and stirs it up creating a film that transforms the story into an Indian diaspora feminist epic narrative. Exciting for all audiences, the film takes music from Annette Hanshaw throwing the audience into a Bollywood mind set, but captured into the American past. If you want a film that is full of complex dimensions but also a film to giggle along with your friends, I suggest sitting down with the romantic tale of Sita and Rama.
5/5
Charming, Lush, Amazing.
by L. Taylor
Imagine a Betty Boop-embodied Hindu goddess, batting obscenely gigantic eyes in an A.D.D.-friendly, cleverly-animated Indian folktale/comedic tragedy. Sita's Mystery Science Theater-style commentary is mashed with a San Francisco love-story; overlain with the sexy, smoky 1920s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw; and is all elegantly smashed into a colorful, creative, masterpiece landmark in illustrative storytelling.
Talented animator Nina Paley further exhibits badassness, by redefining copyright definitions and movie distribution, and by encouraging free public screenings.
Support new media distribution, and enjoy this amazing film.
