“But it’s mostly aggravating to note that Kid-Thing is a film featuring an excellent concept with commendable aspects (Tyrrell, a score from The Octopus Project) that fails to live up to its own intentions. However, the Zellner Brothers have managed to create an inadvertent sort of social commentary. After all, Annie isn’t the first Texan in control of vulnerable people using religious ignorance and fear to keep them in the dark.”
