Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The director's form of genial cinematic dementia is guaranteed not to be to all tastes at all times, but those who are looking for something strange and different will feel right at home.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
17 Oct 2014
fresh:
The deliciously unhinged Guy Maddin makes films that are funny, sinister and mysterious at the same time.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
4 Oct 2007
fresh:
For me it captures Maddin at his loopiest and most inspired.
– John Monaghan,
Detroit Free Press,
27 Jul 2007
fresh:
Narrated by Isabella Rossellini and enhanced by Jason Staczek's superb score, this is characteristically intense and, unlike most of Maddin's silent-movie models, frenetically edited.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
13 Jul 2007
fresh:
No matter how much the director disguises the tale in flickery symbolism, the emotions feel painful and personal.
