I love this movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2007)

I am in love with Across the Universe. As a huge Beatles fan, I will admit that going into it, I was a little worried. What if the renditions of these classic songs suck? What if the story is contrived just to fit into the songs? I was wrong.
The artistic beauty of this movie is something almost unmatched. The colors and the dream-like sequences make for an amazing movie-going experience and well, the music speaks for itself. Evan Rachel Wood, as Lucy, was such a surprise that I was floored when I read somewhere that she's not had any musical training prior to this movie. The characters, and the actors playing them, are lively, talented and full of the kind of life that these songs require.
I am in love with this movie.
