Reviews
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
