Besides being visually enchanting like most Baz Luhrman films, this is also one of his few offerings that's aesthetically beautiful, dramatically satisfying, characteristically emphatic, and sufficiently entertaining, as it is visually brilliant. The ensemble cast effortlessly coagulates any chinks in the multi-layered narrative. Most importantly, the movie resonates with one simple but true message: "That nothing is too great or too small for love and if you really love, you should be willing to pay any price for it". Come awards season, expect this movie to snag all the nominations for its intoxicating cinematography.
