A goofy fairytale, as weird as any other Gilliam film but in a more upbeat than creepy way
A stunningly imaginative adventure that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality.
A wild ride like all Gilliam films are. Truly so much child like wonder it makes me wish they made more movies like this. Very dream like
A favorite watch while growing up.My personal favorite era of Terry Gilliam's directorial-career is easily the 80's w/Time Bandits & Brazil
Good film, very imaginative, but the ending is quite confusing.
Star studded cast takes a bouncy romp on the tightrope between fantasy and reality in this epic tall tale.
Typical, sumptuous, subversive, overblown Terry Gilliam thing. If you like it, you'll love it. I did.
This movie does a wonderful job of being creative and artistic. The plot is magical and has Terry Gilliam written all over it.
Kind of a mess, but a fun mess. Weaker entry in the director’s otherwise stellar career
Obra colosal de Terry Gillian. Una epopeya de fantasía con personajes entrañables.
