A True 10!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2001)

Simply one of the best films I've ever seen. With that said, here's the review. Honestly I don't know what to say. I have never seen a movie like this. I have never had an experience quite the same. What a rush of exhilaration. What a beautiful story. I have seen many, many, musicals and this takes precedence in its ability to energize and captivate.
There is an immediate level of unbelievablility to the entire film as it is presented in an extremely artistic fashion. But after 15 or so minutes you will sit back and be drawn into its world. Quick cuts and bizarre camera moves make the film an assault on your senses. One of the great bits of Moulin Rouge was its ability to tell this wonderful story in a different and fresh way.
A small note on Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. Both of them sing, both of them dance, and both of them ignite the screen and Ewan solidifies his place in my heart as one of the best actors on the scene. I cannot put into words the beauty of this film and its light-handed approach to the genre of musicals. I heard another review which stated "Your heart will sing," and that is exactly what mine did.
