Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
It's certainly distinctive, looking at times like Richard Lester put through a postmodernist blender.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
(Gilliam's) vision is too reflexively comic to evoke the shadows of dread in Thompson's writing.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Pic serves up a sensory overload without any compensatory reflection on the outlandish and irresponsible behavior on view.
-
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
It's really a series of sketches on one theme.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
If you encountered characters like this on an elevator, you'd push a button and get off at the next floor. Here the elevator is trapped between floors for 128 minutes.
