Media Author Review
United States
New York Post
"This aimless epic about a pair of charlatan brothers sinks under the weight of a problematic script"
United States
Chicago Tribune
"It's the visual equivalent of the 'Sabre Dance,' and its only oxygen comes from the actors, who are quite good"
United States
Miami Herald
"The Brothers Grimm gives you plenty to look at, but it's not much to see"
United States
LA Weekly
"This is one of the most visually off-putting films ever made by a director who supposedly makes beautiful pictures."
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"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"
United Kingdom
Empire
"Gilliam at his best and his worst."
United States
Philadelphia Inquirer
"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."
United States
New York Daily News
"The result is a bit of a mess: sometimes delightful, sometimes tedious, always creative."
United States
"A wildly wondrous reinvention of the story of the chroniclers of dark, occasionally horrific, child-pleasing fairy tales."
