Alan Scherstuhl of Village Voice described Is the Man Who is Tall Happy? as [an] edifying treasure-hunt into the depths of a living mind...
"Imagine a doozy of an office-hours audience with the most brilliant professor you never had, set inside a kaleidoscopic lightboard of a shared mind-space, where everything that professor says is illustrated in pulsing, wheeling, mercurial cartoons.
"It's a mad thrill, like witnessing a great evolutionary leap of the margin notes you may have doodled in class."
The film, first released in 2013 was made in the USA with production team George Bermann, Raffi Adlan and Julie Fong.
