About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious prison drama softened by bursts of classic musical fantasy, with a strong emotional connection at its core; Not for you if you dislike musicals or tonal whiplash like Cabaret.
Pros: striking reality-vs-fantasy contrast; emotional central bond; big musical spectacle | Cons: uneven tone shifts; pacing can drag; lighter political depth
