I liked it when there were songs arranged musical pieces. And it's not some prejudice against largely sung-through musicals, either, because I thought Sweeney Todd was fantastic.īut this? I don't know, it didn't click with me. Loved The Sound of Music, loved West Side Story even more. Now I don't have some prejudice against musicals. Production design and costumes and all that were equally impressive.īut this didn't help when the characters wouldn't stop singing. Lots of movement to help relay the atmosphere of a live action play. I found the rest of the camerawork to be nice and kinetic, similar to how Jean-Paul Rappeneau approached Cyrano de Bergerac (1990). Everyone's already mentioned the I Dreamed a Dream song being done in one shot, and it was certainly effective. My own fault, I didn't know the entire film was sung-through, and I'd never seen the musical.īut let me start with the good. First let it be known - I walked out about an hour in.
