About
You’ll likely enjoy this romantic, Gothic musical film with big performances and memorable songs; Not for you if you dislike musicals or want a story that feels more modern and consistently tense than The Next Three Days or Moulin Rouge!
Pros: majestic stage-to-film; haunting musical score; stunning costumes | Cons: often theatrical feel; storytelling can lag; voice presence varies
