I guess if you like musicals and a weird plot, you will like this movie. The acting was excellent, which I felt was the only redeeming feature of the movie.
zzzzzzzzzzzWow! It took me a couple of hours to climb down off my inner scaffolding and stop trying to “be Italian.” Every scene advanced Guido’s story of writer’s block, driven by stunning fantasy musical numbers. While this film is not for everyone, it completely worked for me. The childlike phantasmagorical sensibilities mirrored Guido’s own approach to life. I particularly enjoyed his boyhood influences and the final reference to his inner child, suggesting the guidance it would provide to the new project. Sweet touch.
I actaully was not sure about it, until it got towards the end, by then iz was hooked and after watching the special features(making of the movie etc..) I watched it again. I love the movie, the hard work by the cast (great cast btw) Great choreography & directing.
Disappointing. I was hoping for Chicago, instead I got "The weatherman" to music. Depressing life, under tons of pressure, with no sunny look on life. Musicals should be fantasy, too much realism just makes it seem more depressing.
If you respect Daniel Day Lewis, you'll love this movie. Romance of dedication, in a good way.
I couldn't even finish the movie, the storyline was pretty weak.
EXCELLENT! FANTASTIC! WONDERFUL! I'm a big Fellini fan, and wow...this is so Fellini...and the everyone is well cast...except maybe Nicole Kidman...
great saw it twice.
waste of my time. In fact I fell sleep during it, with such a good cast did not deliver. I was very disappointed...
I walked out 45 minutes into the movie - disaster!
