Dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2014)

I gave this film 1 out of 10, only because I don't know how to give it zero! Again typical Luhrmann - a brash, noisy assault on the senses. He seems to have little or no interest in storyline, plot or characterisation. A musical needs to be musical. Too many of the 'singers' are not, and never will be, singers. Luhrmann employs many fine actors in this film and manages to extract little of artistic or dramatic merit from them. This is amongst the most awful movies I have ever had the displeasure to watch.
It is a mess. I watched it for about forty five uncomfortable minutes before I could watch no more.
