Excellent, if somewhat disjointed

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2020)

Though it can seem to be playing in a confused order at times, this is a very intriguing film that has all the hallmarks of a Gilliam dystopian vision. Engaging and intricate, this film hits on many levels simultaneously, dramatic, tragic, and comic. Brad Pitts performance as an incarcerated mental patient is thoroughly believable and a wonder to watch. Gilliam's direction is evident throughout with camera angles, costumes, and character interaction. If you haven't already viewed this film, it is a must-see!
