A superb theatrical masterpiece that will appeal to all. It's a brilliant combination of music, love, theatre and tragedy that makes Moulin Rouge so timeless. It can appeal to everyone at any stage in their life. It's a film you'll watch again and again. I'm not afraid to admit: this is my favourite film of all time. It's just a classic of our time.
If you are looking for a musical with a difference, then Moulin Rouge will be the ultimate ticket. I can’t stress enough how good this is. It’s funny, dramatic, extravagant, crazy, exciting and many other words that would fill up the thesaurus. This film will bring back memories of how musicals use to be which unfortunately are like a dying breed by today’s standards and no matter what musical Hollywood brings out, it can’t get any better than this. Ewan McGregor is excellent and Nicole Kidman is surprisingly good along with several other members of the cast like John Leguizamo who was my personal favourite. The music is of course the main highlight using popular songs stretching back from the 70s. It’s not supposed to be historical depiction but you should look at it as a celebration. It will be a movie you will watch several times.
