Great Yarn!

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2007)

This is why I go the cinema. To be entertained. And this movie does it all the way through. Highly engaging, compelling, stimulating, exciting, the superlatives go on and on. The cinematography is worth admission alone. Great performance from all actors except David Bowie who just about passed first base. The period setting was totally convincing and the on stage drama the best since Amadeus. The intense atmosphere created by Bale and his stage rivals really keeps your eyes glued to the screen. The film really has the lot, including just the right amount of romantic interest but not too much and the girls are quite stunning.I would give this film a best movie Oscar.
