It may work or may not work on you - but you should definitely try

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2008)

This is the first movie ever to receive a 9/10 from me - and it is with some hesitation that I decided not to rate it a perfect 10.
It appears to me that there are two kinds of people in the world: Those that are captivated by the magic, the sheer beauty of both the pictures and, above all, the music - and those who aren't, who feel rather indifferent and basically remember this film only as a waste of 85 minutes of their time. You won't know whether you are part of the latter, or - like me - of the first group of viewers before you actually go and see it. But even the slightest chance that you might belong to those who do connect largely justifies the effort of the above mentioned 85 minutes and a few bucks. For please trust me when I say: If it works for you, the experience will be unforgettable, more even: It will blow you apart.
