One of the great movie spectacles of this generation, an undertaking of vast scope made all the more fascinating by how it transforms commonplace undercurrents into rich sensations for every frame it possesses the screen.February 09, 2006
If it lacks the emotional punch of Luhrmann's earlier films, and drags towards the end, it is still great fun.January 22, 2002
[Luhrmann] gives you way too much of what you didn't really want in the first place: soulless high jinks.July 06, 2010
Moulin Rouge is a tour de force of artifice, a dazzling pastiche of musical and visual elements at the service of a blatantly artificial story.June 07, 2001
The net result of all this cinematic whirling, of the "wrong" music and of the parodic plot, is that nothing at all in the film moves us.January 25, 2013
An honest, heartfelt paean to good old-fashioned love that's audacious in its wide-eyed passion, innocent love of fun and sheer showmanship.November 04, 2012
Sensual ravishment, indeed.February 14, 2013
It's still a one-of-a-kind, we'll give it that. But its sense of fun is so relentless and excessive, it all ends up being extremely tedious and shallow.February 15, 2013
You will either fall in love with every camp flourish, or find yourself exhausted after 20 minutes. It's a singular achievement either way.November 08, 2011
A genuinely exhilarating experience. Moulin Rouge is like the best party ever, to the power of 10.April 27, 2007
Mr. Luhrmann and his colleagues have worked like whirling dervishes to make the plot look like it's moving.June 04, 2001
The film dances; the heart sings.
