Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There is much to see on this journey, all of it presented in the abundant, deep-focus detail that is Gilliam's visual trademark.

fresh:
The king is completely out-of-control, and so was Gilliam in making this film. Neither has much of a sense of proportion, but both are hard to ignore.

fresh:
A lavish fairy tale for bright children of all ages.
