Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Gilliam's penchant for overstimulation can numb your visual cortex, but Theorem is still the best thing he's pulled out of that bag in a while.
Rotten: This "Theorem" is all sizzle, zero steak.
Rotten: Too bad the story tucked around all that production design is such a futuristic drag.
Fresh: If you're inclined to fall into Terry Gilliam's heady fantasias, this eye-catching entry won't disappoint. But the movie may leave a feeling of vague dissatisfaction.
Customer Reviews
Amazing Film
This is the kind of film that only Terry Gilliam could have done. If you like Brazil and 12 Monkeys, you will love this movie. This is going to be one of those films that they will inspire people 20 years from now, just like Brazil.
Hidden Truth
The movie is an allegory for reality the truth cant be told to people it has to be found.
ODD Little Film
This is an odd little film with a very hard to follow story line. I have always expected Terry Gilliam to make thought provoking films. But this movie made me think about just what is going on. Visually it is not as good as previous Gilliam films.
