Absolutely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2002)

I absolutely love this movie! I have to admit that for the first twenty minutes or so, I was thinking to myself "what in the heck is going on here?" But I stayed to watch the whole thing and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. Not only is the acting amazing, but the singing was out of this world! Who knew Nicole Kidman could sing like that (I sure couldn't, especially if I was hanging from a trapeze at the same time...) and I repeatedly listen to Ewan's songs (his voice just makes me fall in love with him). The story just rips your heart out (in the best possible way) and I think I've watched it so many times that I can pretty much talk along with the movie (I'm just a little bit of a movie geek...). Baz Luhrman did an incredible job with this movie and Catherine Martin's costumes were so gorgeous! The rest of the group (Harold, The Duke, Toulouse, etc.) make the movie so great that I hope everyone who watches it loves it just as much as I do!
