see. this. movie!.

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2007)

DREAMGIRLS, the story of black popular American music from the late '50's through to the mid '70's, as told with a focus on a Supremes-like trio of singers, is the kind of movie that comes along only rarely, a truly great film.
But this movie succeeds on every level: music, cinematography, acting, script, direction, set design, costume design... The end result is outstanding. Unbelievable. This should be one of those films that is nominated in every category, it is that amazing. Nothing is spared. It is truly something special.
There are many strong characters, and every actor in the cast shines. For me to praise each individually as they deserve would be to write a book, but it's hard to resist. Beyonce? Amazing. Jennifer Hudson? Superhuman. Eddie Murphy? Remember back when he was the biggest star in Hollywood? For the first time in years he is here to show us why, and what kind of talent and power has been waiting to shine again.
I want to thank everyone involved for bringing this wonderful movie to life. This will be remembered as one of the greatest films in movie history.
