This long-overdue return from Alejandro Jodorowsky finds him just as overflowing with imagination -- and heart -- as fans have come to expect.

At first the film seems overly stagey, and those with little time for circus acts may find it irritating, but when Jodorowsky hits his surreal stride. Aug 20, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A lot of the film doesn't quite click, either as dream imagery or something more conventional. But there's a spirit and a yearning in it that's undeniable and bracing. Dec 8, 2014 | Rating: 3/4

The loony-goony visuals are still in play, but there's a sympathy for the audience, a desire to put things to good and even meaningful use. Jun 20, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Taken on its own merits, it is a thunderously weird and wonderful movie, filled with scenes and images that won't leave you anytime soon. Jul 24, 2019 | Full Review…

The Dance of Reality may suffer from some indulgences, but one can't really blame Jodorowsky for indulging after such a long absence. Jun 18, 2019 | Rating: 7.3/10 | Full Review…

The Dance of Reality is a wild ride and unlikely to bring Jodorowsky to the mainstream, although it is more disciplined than any of his previous films. But it is rich, warm and wonderful, and certainly a fine entry point into his oeuvre. Do see this. Nov 21, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
