90As unusual and idiosyncratic as its one-of-a-kind title. You'd expect no less from Terry Gilliam, and admirers of this singular filmmaker will be pleased to know that "Imaginarium" is one of his most original and accessible works.
-
80There are thrilling flashes of Gilliam getting back to top form here. A scrappy movie with more ideas than it can control, but one born out of a passion and determination that are wholly infectious.
-
60The film is neither intelligent enough nor silly or grotesque enough to become a lasting favorite.
-
25The film ends up landing in a confused middle category. It's neither a coherent, discrete work nor a zany tribute to the late actor.
