J. R. Jones loved it: Mirrormask
"The characters are so poorly realized that the visuals quickly overwhelm the story," Jonathan Rosenbaum's Chicago Reader second says of Dave McKean's graphic-rich debut feature, ungratefully asserting there's such a thing as too much imagination: "This is worth seeing for the artwork alone, but it's so furiously overimagined it may leave you feeling dulled." [Overimagined, a neologism I can't find a definition for, apparently means fertile imagination given to rampage, to be dismissed in favor of things you've experienced 24 times a year.]
