Essential. I have to generate 75 characters, but "essential" is all I have to say. Talk to me after you seen it.

Pink Floyd The Wall is the best band/opera kind of film, as it tells its story intricately, with beautiful animation, deep themes, and a sense of overall visual uniqueness (not to mention one of the greatest soundtracks of all time). The critic's score is way too low. I'll admit it's a tiny bit repetitive, but it's a minor complaint because I was already so invested in the movie that some redundant scenes weren't much of a detractor. Check it out to form an opinion on this surrealist piece of art.… Expand

Its use of music and visuals to propel the plot rather than dialogue is very interesting. While you do have to go in with a certain mindset, once you get into it, it's very hard to break the immersion. A very trippy and symbolic film to be sure.… Expand

The Wall is an absolute masterpiece of artistic expression. Roger Waters has taken what is a very personal story and experience, and has expanded on it and kept it coherent while making it a message everyone can understand and relate to.

"Pink Floyd: The Wall", a compelling visual journey of the disturbed and tragic mind. It is one long music video, which is not really a negative, not with this movie.

I don't listen to a lot of Pink Floyd's music, so watching this was quite the surreal experience, but I connected and understood the surrealness to a weird extent. I think anyone who is or is not a fan will have an interesting and unique experience. Any sort of character development comes through the music, which itself tells the whole story. This will be the closest we will ever come to examine Roger Waters mindset and feelings.

The songs themselves are not only amazing, but brilliantly expressed and unequal compared to other bands. The animated sequences that went with the songs were so remarkable it makes the songs strike an extra chord to your subconscious.

Overall rating: RIP Alan Parker. A brilliant director who took a band and adapted it into cinema.… Expand
