MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..There just seems to be ever such a lot missing, and this is ultimately what lets the film down..”
by David Mercier [FilmJudge]
“..a convoluted, enjoyable, very mad, deeply conservative and, at one moment, horribly violent extravaganza..”
by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian]
“..an adequate but not inspired translation of the source material..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
