⭐ Featured Review

This early Terry Gilliam film is better than its reputation.
by RufusT β€’ 1998-11-12
7/10

"This often neglected first solo directing effort of Gilliam's is certainly much better than its maligned reputation would have you believe. While it is though sledding the first time through, it gains appreciably with repeated viewings, but does demand you pay attention. Amongst all the excrement, garbage and filth, Gilliam and his co-writer actually have a little something to say about big business, but mainly JABBERWOCKY is very, very funny. Strong stomachs are required, however...."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

The monster costume was designed so that Peter Salmon had to wear it backwards, to make the Jabberwocky's leg movements more bird-like.
