Bizarre, disturbing, but what else can you expect from Terry Gilliam? The acting is wonderful, and the cinematography is amazing, but don't watch this film expecting a nice, happy "normal" piece of cinema.

It must be said that Terry Gilliam must have a very vivid imagination and he deserves credit for making movies that he wants to make.He doesn't particularly make commercial movies but this one is just a little too wierd for my taste.It is indeed a strange movie in a lot of ways and quite a few scenes were uncomfortable to watch.I just couldn't get involved at all.
I do feel that the young actress in the lead role deserves plaudits for handling a difficult role very well so well done to Jodelle Ferland for being the best thing about a movie that will make you think but ultimately baffle you.

I was really looking forward to seeing this film, being a fan of Terry Gillingham's work. But after a promising start, it just got progressively more weird (and not in a good way) until I was literally being begged to turn it off.
