Prokofiev's estate should probably sue whoever did the score to this movie.

Visually, a candied fantasy land. Shimmering soft focus rainbows through the enticingly artificial woods, but that's about the only positive. The script, while occasionally fresh in its weirdness, generally errs on the flatulent side, and nobody except maybe Krige can give it any life; the acting lacks, and given the dialogue-heavy script it's a deal breaker. The score's banal, and even the camera which so nicely captures the light can't find anything to do through the extended conversations.

Slowly drifts you to a dream of lush colours. Funny

Bordering on being Maddin’s best for me

Ugly, conventional, interminable, doesn't work on any level. A Guy Maddin movie should not look like it was made the year it came out.
