Let’s be honest, as horrific as much of this movie’s content is, it’s really more of a fantasy/fairytale. Apropos to the incomparable Terry Gilliam, this controversial entry of his did much the same for Ryan and Tim: breed controversy. Although magic and wonder and terror abound, this one really missed its mark and led to a near double ”avoid”... BUT ultimately was given a “stream” from Ryan and a “rent” from Tim.
