Critic Reviews

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

The New York Times - Lawrence Van Gelder

Literate and handsome. 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

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

New York Post - Lou Lumenick

Pandaemonium plays like a bus-and-truck version of such Ken Russell's '60s classics as "The Music Lovers."
