And I don't think there's even a space in the film critic world in america to support or even enjoy this film. All I see coming from the US is an endless cycle of scoops and rumors around disney releases, whereas it's star wars or marvel films... I don't know if there's still space for a Gilliam film in the US. Amazon banked on it because it was good publicity, being seen as the studio which helped making this legendary project, then they dropped it because they realized they don't care, actually. The most sad/laughable/ridiculous of course is that questioning the place of films in our lives and their role as artistic or commercial objects is one of the main themes of Gilliam's film... And obviously Variety or the Hollywood reporter won't like it, as they have become glorified studio marketing vessels. At the end of it, it's sad, because I don't know where Gilliam could go for the next one...
