OVERALL: Draw
The Criterion releases for the best set of extras. It's only missing the Bonusview feature and afterward comments on the storyboards with Tery Gilliam and Charles McKeown.
General Notes:
The Sony Blu-ray transfer is framed higher than previous DVD releases for the entire film. This has caused the sequence in which Uma Thurman appears nude to reveal less nudity, but this is due to the overall framing difference, not optical censorship of this scene.
