Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
I was overwhelmed, I was caught up in its headlong energy.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
[Director] Russell's noisily grandiose swipe at psychedelia embellishes what is no more than the cosily familiar story of the obsessive Scientist Who Goes Too Far and Unwittingly Unleashes, etc.
– Jennifer Selway,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
There isn't a lucid moment in it (and much of the dialogue is rendered unintelligible by Russell's subversive direction), but it has dash, style, and good looks, as well as the funniest curtain line since Some Like It Hot.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Direction by Ken Russell has energy to spare, with appropriate match-up of his baroque visual style to special effects intensive material.

It opens at fever pitch and then starts soaring -- into genetic fantasy, into a precognitive dream of delirium and delight.
