About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like Terry Gilliam’s offbeat, dreamlike storytelling and surreal comedy; Not for you if you want a straightforward, easy-to-follow plot, as it can feel messy and polarizing compared with The Brothers Grimm or Hysteria.
Pros: Terry Gilliam’s imagination; Wildly surreal tone; Strong lead performances | Cons: Polarizing and confusing; Unfocused pacing; Hard to follow for some
