100There's a new visual idea every second, each teeming with energy, pitch-dark comedy, and inspired cinematic lunacy.
-
100It's said to be an autobiography, but that pertains only in the loosest sense. It's a comedy. It's a 1920s silent movie. It is practically indescribable. And it is pure genius.
-
60The overall feel is phantasmagoric--pitched, like most of Maddin's work, in the style of a half-remembered late silent feature or early talkie.

[Anonymous]5I can honestly understand people hating this film. But I will only refund 1 hour of life per viewer... considering that is how long the movie is.
