Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Luhrmann is drawn to kitsch as inevitably as a bear to honey.
– David Denby,
New Yorker,

fresh:
Sometimes Luhrmann seems to be living in a Dreamtime of his own; his movie is all over the map. But what a gorgeous map it is.
– Joe Morgenstern,
Wall Street Journal,

rotten:
It's trying so hard to be epic instead of just being epic.

rotten:
There's a lot to admire here, but not enough.

fresh:
It's a fine romp, epic in both ambition and visuals if not narrative - and if director Baz Luhrmann had stopped at the end of the love story's trajectory, the audience would have left entirely happy.
