Moulin Rouge meets Mr. Selfridge meets Glee!

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2017)

I find it interesting that on Rotten Tomatoes this has a 50% approval from critics, but an 88% approval from audiences... higher than Ladybird! That says something about critics, as does this movie.
This movie is Moulin Rouge, Mr. Selfridge, and Glee rolled into one entertaining package! It could have been "left in the oven" a little longer to polish some of the script, but so could most films anymore. No, it's not a detailed bio, nor should it be. It is pointing out and exploring showmanship, and it uses showmanship to do it. The film is at its worst when it tries to preach a message towards the end, but it was not so bad it ruined the movie. All in all, a fun and entertaining time with great visuals and great music.
