Donald Clarke✦AI Summary
The Irish Times criticizes Andy Serkis's new animated adaptation of George Orwell's Animal Farm, describing it as a messy departure from the original source material. The review highlights the film's heavy-handed political allegories and lack of fidelity to Orwell's themes.
