      Audience Member If you like classic poetry then it should appeal, but it's more art-house than storyline. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review rory s I thought it was a good movie. With good performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A fanciful and atmospheric fantasy based loosely on the lives of Coleridge and Wordsworth - there's more than a hint of Schafer's Amadeus in this tale of tortured artists and jealousy. Great cast, beautifully shot and poetry of a kind both new and old as the script dovetails effortlessly with some of England's greatest romantic verse. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I especially enjoyed Lord Byron mocking Wordsworth Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a train wreck. One star for the poetry, and one star for the decent performances by the two female leads (Emily Woof and Samantha Morton). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member as far as i know the only wordsworth and coleridge movie, which is a crime. the movie is wonderfully acted and absurdly anachronistic. live it. love it. come for the laudanum, stay for the coleridge dance remix. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Sandi Chaitram BBC.com Successfully gets to the heart of the obsessions that drive great writers -- and will have you dusting down your old school copy of the 'Lyrical Ballads'! Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2001 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Goes a long way toward capturing the compelling delirium of opium among a crowd of freethinking British iconoclasts. Rated: B+ Jul 23, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2005 Full Review Tom Grealis RTÉ (Ireland) It's probably somewhat ironic that 'Pandaemonium' would have been far more appealing if its central characters were hoi-polloi poetic wannabes. Rated: 2/5 Feb 13, 2003 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 3/5 Sep 22, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
