New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf
Easily one of the finest and most sophisticated films of the year.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Pandaemonium goes a long way toward capturing the compelling delirium of opium among a crowd of freethinking British iconoclasts.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Paul Malcolm
Temple doesn't just highlight the contemporary relevance of Coleridge's liberated words and themes, he shows us how high they still soar.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
It's unfortunate and ironic that Temple risks so much so successfully in evoking an atmosphere of literary imagination as well as Coleridge's drug-induced fantasies only to conclude his film in a thud of fustian staginess.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
As a visual counterpart to some of the most sublime verse ever written, it's often thrilling.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Treats the poets not as creative equals but as a groundbreaking genius and a jealous, vindictive hack. Wordsworth is Salieri to Coleridge's Mozart.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
Never quite dull, neither does it ever find a viable rhythm, narrative arc or crux of emotional engagement.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson
Apart from the historical eminence of the poetry itself, Pandaemonium is about nothing much at all.
Village Voice Jessica Winter
The exposition is thick, the characterization choppy, the wigs terrible.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Pandaemonium plays like a bus-and-truck version of such Ken Russell's '60s classics as "The Music Lovers."
