Slow down Baz

Rating: 3/10 (9 September 2001)

Great cutting, pity it didn't allow the audience time to enjoy what was actually happening on screen. If there was a great dance sequence in there I missed it. On the other hand Jim Broadbent is great as Zidler. Shame I can't be as positive about Kidman and McGregor. There was no chemistry between them and it was impossible to believe in their 'love.'
It seems to me this film is walking a tightrope between utter brilliance and cringe inducing embarrassment. This is reflected in peoples' reaction to it being either ecstatic or vehemently hostile.
