Whoa! Slow Down Baz

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2002)

"Moulin Rouge!" is not an easy movie to assess. IMDb commenters, at least this one, have probably not thought, "Does this movie merit an eight or a nine?" It?s more like, "Is this movie a complete disaster, or did I love it?"
I found "Moulin Rouge!" one of the most innovative and enjoyable movies of the year. But it gave me a headache. If Baz had slowed down the editing a couple of notches, so moviegoers could focus, he might have won more Oscars.
