Authentic, Brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2017)

As a passionate artist and film fanatic, I appreciated every moment of this movie. Through an audience capturing introduction to the world of show business, then a taste of reality and the consequences of reaching for the stars, to a romance based on a passion shared by two very different individuals, to the true meaning of family and virtue. This movie has managed to capture every aspect of an authentic yet brilliant musical. Since the premier of 'Moulin Rouge', I never thought I could possibly find a musical that can ever be considered as good, yet, somehow, this was better. The cinematography, the sound effects, the lighting, the editing, the cast. Truly brilliant. I noticed audiences singing along to songs they never heard before, people clapping in the background. My eyes even teared up at some point. Highly recommended, deserves every nomination possible.
