Review of Time Bandits (1981) by Gary Arnold for Washington Post — 05 Mar 2009
Parents may not approve of this dark, violent 1981 children's film, which is what makes it such a good one. The film is resolutely, passionately antiadult, yet much of the humor has an adult sophistication and edge to it; this is one kids' movie that doesn't condescend.
