Brewster McCloud (1970)



An introverted loner living in the bowels of the Astrodome plots to develop - with the aid of a mysterious guardian angel - a pair of wings that will help him fly.

Lively, wild and chaotic comedy is only occasionally funny; seems to want to say something about flying and freedom, but doesn't really.

Halliwell (no star): "Anarchic, allegorical fantasy, a delight no doubt for connoisseurs of way-out humour. Everyone else, forget it."

Maltin***: "Patently indescribable movie...Extremely bizarre; for certain tastes, extremely funny. Altman fans have a head start."
