NYTimes Review:
'A Scanner Darkly': Keanu Reeves, Undercover and Flying High on a Paranoid Head Trip
By MANOHLA DARGIS Published: July 7, 2006
Identities shift and melt like shadows in Richard Linklater's animated adaptation of "A Scanner Darkly," a look at a future that looks an awful lot like today. Based on a 1977 novel by the science fiction visionary Philip K. Dick, the semispeculative story involves a cop (call him Officer Fred) who, by assuming an undercover identity (call him Bob Arctor), is inching his way up toward a big drug bust, score by score. But there's a little problem: Fred is starting to forget he's Bob, or maybe vice versa. [...]
[...] Rotoscoping makes certain sense for a film about cognitive dissonance and alternative realities.....

The title of the novel references the Biblical phrase "Through a glass, darkly", from 1 Corinthians 13.
