      Critics Consensus

      The Brothers Grimm is full of beautiful imagery, but the story is labored and less than enchanting.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review jelisije j A very guilty pleasure movie that deals with The Brothers Grim being con artists and realizes the supernatural is real and that they are forced to realize that they must become the heroes of their stories.

      Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Jamie Woolley BBC.com Perfect material, you might think, for Terry Gilliam's brain of perpetual invention. But despite occasional flashes of dark genius, he hasn't laid a golden egg. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2005 Full Review David Edelstein Slate The Brothers Grimm has enough haunting, fairy-tale imagery for 10 movies, but no emotional kick to drive those images home. Aug 29, 2005 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A welcome change from the bland remakes and sequels that have cluttered up the multi-plexes this summer. Rated: 4/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Kathi Maio The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction Gilliam's feverish and fabulous visions for what he hopes to capture on film seem impractical and a little mad at times. Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Wide-eyed, messy, lustrous, rich with enchantment, both giddy and perverse Sep 1, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
