What is the point of making a film like this? A pretentious film director is uninspired to write a decent film, and ultimately fails.
How clever and ironic that the film itself mirrors this!
In order to find inspiration, he looks to the women in his life, while they spring into song wearing basques and corsets.
All the songs sound the same.
Nothing happens.
The end.
I'm sticking my neck out here. I'll be chastised for criticising such a successful Broadway musical, with such a great cast. Don't get me wrong - the 1 star for this film is solely for Day Lewis - the man can act.
It looks fairly nice as well It doesn't stop this film being pointless, pretentious, nauseous drivel.
I can't remember any of the songs from the film, because they are completely dull, lifeless, pointless songs.
1/10 - AVOID. (Even though you'll all disagree with me - I stand by my opinion!)
