---|---|---|---|---|
"This aimless epic about a pair of charlatan brothers sinks under the weight of a problematic script" | ||||
"It's the visual equivalent of the 'Sabre Dance,' and its only oxygen comes from the actors, who are quite good" | ||||
"The Brothers Grimm gives you plenty to look at, but it's not much to see" | ||||
"This is one of the most visually off-putting films ever made by a director who supposedly makes beautiful pictures." | ||||
"Hugely ambitious but often failing to live up to those ambitions, Terry Gilliam's long-awaited The Brothers Grimm emerges as a folkloric adventure that intermittently entertains" | ||||
"Gilliam at his best and his worst." | ||||
"If The Brothers Grimm flies apart like a badly designed airplane (and it does), it still has more going for it than most of the movie fare this summer." | ||||
"The result is a bit of a mess: sometimes delightful, sometimes tedious, always creative." | ||||
"A wildly wondrous reinvention of the story of the chroniclers of dark, occasionally horrific, child-pleasing fairy tales." |
