Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

Easily one of the finest and most sophisticated films of the year. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Pandaemonium goes a long way toward capturing the compelling delirium of opium among a crowd of freethinking British iconoclasts. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

Literate and handsome. Read full review

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

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

Dennis Harvey

Never quite dull, neither does it ever find a viable rhythm, narrative arc or crux of emotional engagement. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

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