The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Nobody makes a movie like Terry Gilliam. For better or worse, the director of Brazil, Twelve Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas puts on screen whatever happens to be in his head. You can't expect coherence, plausibility or realism... Full review

It is unmistakably Gilliam: ubiquitous imagination, slow pacing, few if any relatable characters- but it is so much more. It is a happy marriage between the final Heath Ledger showing and one enormous mind that flirts with the devil. Speaking of... Full review

One of many haunting lines^ uttered in this true oddity of a film. Terry Gilliam's obviously been on the wacky weed again (but then, to be fair...when's he ever *off* it, really?). Suffice to say he offers up yet another visual... Full review

Gilliam's strength, as always, is in having the ability to project the craziest depths of his imagination on to the big screen and this film provides the ideal platform for him to showcase his stunning visual conceptions. The 'Imaginarium' itself is... Full review

I can admit that i entered expectant to the cinema after reading critics about the film. Good critics convince me, bads even more. I knew Terry Gilliam wasn't accepted in this business, because all his films make you to think, and... Full review

If you're impressed with Gillam's colourful imagination, and his ability to splash it across a two hour movie, then you'll love this. If you regard it as a poor substitute for a compelling story, as I did, then by the half... Full review

It breaks my heart to have to give a Gilliam film 3 out of ten, but here it is. I adore the man, and would spawn his children if it were physiologically possible ( and we got on) but I can't... Full review

Heath Ledger will be better remembered for The Dark Knight than this movie, despite the fact that it features his last performance (incomplete, substituted by Depp, Law and Farrell). In fact in many ways Ledger is one of the least important... Full review

Well, this film has been strongly anticipated, what with the death of Heath Ledger, and his replacements (Depp, Farrell and Law). Like most Gilliam films i've heard of, it received mixed reviews, but i still did want to see this. When... Full review

oh dear. I was expecting to find this disappointing (like most of Gilliam's efforts since Time Bandits) but even I was surprised at just how disappointing this was. The acting was atrocious (Ledger particularly uncomfortable I thought) with only Plummer carrying... Full review

The film is quite melancholy, if whimsical.....It is sad to report that his performance is a bit disappointing....His characters are often cartoonish, which is not surprising from someone who began his career drawing cartoons..... ... Full Review

Thankfully yes, even if the film is not exactly perfect.....this film really is a visual treat that needs to be seen to be truly appreciated.....Doctor Parnassus may not be what you'd call a perfect film....for those who love to be transported to fantastical worlds, the film is worth seeing..... ... Full Review

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus fails to soar....it's the plot's lack of horsepower.....the love of his loyal sideshow troupe, consisting of Andrew Garfield, Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me) and a slippery tongued, amnesiac stranger called Tony Liar (inspired by one Tony Blair)..... ... Full Review

The film is visually thrilling....he is the best and most thoughtful young actor in Britain..... ... Full Review

The best performance in the film comes from Andrew Garfield as the lovestruck Anton.....broke his back and, of course, leading man Heath Ledger was found dead having completed around half of his role.....gives a dazzling performance swooning between giddy excitement and crushed disappointment.....Heath Ledger's final performance underlines his charismatic personality and frisky way with comedy but Tony is not the character.... ...
