Ratings and reviews

Loved it. Like how a kidnapped victim finds love for their kidnapper. I watched to the end and loved being tortured by how immensely potent this insanity was. Chaos to no end. This film should be forbidden to hell where it came from. Drugged out of it's mind. It created a magical universe that sucked. Logic and proportion were constantly unsure where they stood. I was driven insane and regret watching it. Nonsense but not in a good way.

I have heard great things about this film but this version is dubbed into English. Personally I finding dubbing visually discordant and distracting. Hoping that the original Italian language version with subtitles will be available here at some point.

It was awful. Not a child’s movie more like a second grade school production. I expected so much from this movie and was really disappointed. The movie seemed to be confused about which direction to take.
