Pied Piper film review flaws deepen a painterly spectacle
The piece critiques the film for veering from the original tale as the Piper and lovers fade, while praising Denny's precise evocative imagery and strong acting apart from Donovan. It notes Lisa's vacuity, Gavin the artist boy, and the film's surreal set pieces that align with the period mood despite an unsettled ending.
