The Observer - Philip French | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'veers wildly between the magical, maladroit and plain mushy' |
|
The Sun - The Sneak | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'If you want a weird ride, roll up for Parnassus. Just don't attempt to make sense of it.' |
|
The Times - Wendy Ide | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Heath Ledger's last film is, unfortunately, not one of his best ? this is a clever trick with nothing up its sleeve' |
|
Evening Standard - Andrew O'Hagan | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'you feel the makers of this movie are lost in their material, confused by the richness of what they have imagined, and unable to shape it' |
|
Total Film - Kevin Harley | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Gilliam's plotting is typically ramshackle, but the fantasy visions are wondrous.' |
|
Empire - Olly Richards | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'There are thrilling flashes of Gilliam getting back to top form here. A scrappy movie with more ideas than it can control, but one born out of a passion and determination that are wholly infectious.' |
|
Evening Standard - Nick Curtis | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'That it hangs together as a striking work of fantasy is truly remarkable' |
|
Hollywood Reporter - Ray Bennett | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
At Cannes: "The combined star power involved will generate a plentiful boxoffice return but the film is not intelligent enough nor silly or grotesque enough to become a lasting favorite." |
|
Little White Lies - Josh Winning | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'A surprisingly good Lily Cole dazzles, but Parnassus is all over the place.' |
|
The Independent on Sunday - Nicholas Barber | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'the film putters in different directions without ever picking up speed' |
