Worst movie I have seen in several years that others have liked. Nicole Kidman is some people's idea of beautiful, and she has some acting ability but I just can't take her seriously as a passionate woman. Ewan McGregor is entirely too pleased with himself as a hunk. I have nothing against wilfully strange/fantastic movies but this one can't seem to decide what kind of wilfully strange mood/vibe it wants to have. Is it being tongue in cheek throughout or does it want to have some emotional heft? Even the flashy dancing and singing is to my mind undermined by Luhrmann's excessive editing which means I often lost any sense of continuity. But I know it has provided great pleasure to some (and I did quite like Jim Broadbent's performance) so go ahead and try it - but you've been warned...
