Critic Reviews

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    For me, the Polish brothers marched down a road leading nowhere.

  • Bill Muller, Arizona Republic

    A compelling juxtaposition of the poignant and the bizarre, a movie that tosses moviemaking rules into the nearest Cuisinart.

  • Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    For those on its peculiar wavelength, everything fits. For those who aren't, it's a painful piece of self-impressed drivel. Either way, you'll know you've been to the movies.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    This formidable work is for no one except those who are truly tired of formulaic movies and crave something completely different.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    It's a tone poem of a movie, more visual than coherent. As such, what it's about is less important than the spell it casts.

    20 of my finest legions of waffle troops were savagely consumed with little consideration given to their tasty legs. Such a disgraceful way to go. For a waffle anyway. Damn, mass wafflo-cide could've only been the work of...yep, you guessed it: the Methochaun. That little vile… More

    Doesn't explain half of the things that are going on in the movie. Boo.
