Oh come now old sport...

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2013)

It's a story from a time gone by brought to life in modern terms. It's alive just as its characters and its scenes are. The only thing I noticed was that the music soundtrack may have been slightly out but this is forgivable when trying to create a contemporary version of a story.
I am not a Baz fan at all. Every movie before this, for whatever reason, I did not like. They just didn't come together for me and I can't help but view Lurhmann as an uber-narcissist who's subconscious creative will is to let his ego completely displace anything an audience may require from a film. But this movie is well worth watching because of how it makes you feel and the messages it delivers.
You don't need to know any more than that. Just watch it.
