Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Not even Bunuel with a brainful of Woodstock's bad brown acid could have made something this gloriously screwy.
– David Fear,
Time Out New York,
21 Apr 2007
fresh:
Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain is a dazzling, rambling, often incoherent satire on consumerism, militarism and exploitation.
– Matt Zoller Seitz,
New York Times,
18 Apr 2007
fresh:
This is an extraordinary visual concoction, loaded with stunning primary colors, anti-religious caricatures drawn from Diego Rivera and a succession of dreamlike, grotesque vistas worthy of Dali at his most deranged.
– Andrew O'Hehir,

fresh:
Jodorowsky loves to confront the viewer with endless brutality and grotesque decadence and degradation, but here he expresses it with a rich, densely visual imagination.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
16 Mar 2007
fresh:
Neither for the faint of heart or the linear of thinker, The Holy Mountain qualifies both as a fascinating period relic and an enduringly transfixing jaw-dropper.
