    I found this film breath-taking. Beautiful images and sets, stunning puppetry and editing, amazing music and a story so skiilfully crafted and planed, it left me in awe, Beauty and the Beast. I love this film a lot and was glad to see it on the big screen, will definitely get the DVD.

    utterly Droz (droll & gross). Only sat through it hoping it'd be mysteriously saved in the end. It wasn't.

    The Brother's Quay are still my favorite - this film is an alchemy of psychopathology and desire, surrealist and esoteric in intent, and perhaps best fitted into the horror, rather than sci-fi genre. The final Nietzschean scene of eternal return with it's locked, Tantalus-like obsession, reminds that we can never possess more than the moment. For my part, the imp of the absurd drove me nuts and I just wanted out. Bravo anyhow!

    The film's poetry, playfulness and dream like feelings would perhaps work better in a short film. It's a surreal experience, a slow and hard to understand film but has an hypnotic beauty.

    Haven't seen it yet but I have listened to some of the music. Don't know much about the movie but by the music alone, I want to see it.

    For me, this film is a trip through a wormhole back to 19th century Symbolism. There simply is nothing going on nowadays that is quite like what I saw up there on the screen--which is to say that my recommendation may only ring true for half of you. Dream rather than story logic prevails here, as do certain thematic preoccupations that
    would resonate with only two or three other directors that come to mind, including Jean Cocteau and David Cronenberg. It's a meticulously crafted, mesmerizing experience, and it would probably be diminished by viewing on a small screen.

    Beautiful and weird, but impenetrable. After dozing off a few times, I gave up trying to understand the plot of this dreamy movie. Lots of talking and allusions to sex, but not a lot of action.

    I actually just turned it off. I don't think I've ever done that before with a film I've rented/paid to see. I enjoy a broad range of films and genres, but this failed to involve me on any level. I guess it looked good. It can have a star for that.

    sinister, seductive and beautiful. the use of sound and imagery is outstanding and almost reminiscent of some of lynch's films. certainly not everyone's cup of tea but i great watch if you like films with mystery and atmosphere.
