Felt like a fever dream but they definitely went above and beyond to pull it off.
Gilliam’s amazing film about authoritarian bureaucracy. This films dystopian world seems more and more disturbingly plausible each day.

Many things I loved, like the dystopian world-building and social commentary. Didn't love a few plot points, but strange and worth watching.
A great film by Terry Gilliam showing an unusual dystopian future. It’s a surreal and confusing world. The movie deserves a re-watch.
A classic. Would definitely watch it again. It aged like fine wine.
Incredible depiction of a fictional dystopia. Funny at times but usually the subject matter is so horrific you forget to laugh.
Insightful look into how the world might look if we aren't careful. Made before the internet.
I can't even write a reaction to this film without filling out a 27B/6...
Oh my god, its the perfect twist between a '1984' reality and dream. In order to fully understand it, you have to watch it a couple of times
