Critics Consensus

A love-it-or-hate-it experience, Moulin Rouge is all style, all giddy, over-the-top spectacle. But it's also daring in its vision and wildly original.

3.5/4

Moulin Rouge is an audacious, snappy visual and emotional feast of dishes both familiar and fresh.

Kidman and McGregor sparkle together; some songs enchant, a fine supporting cast give us some laughs, but it's not enough. There is nothing to savour, to reflect on. It's a film where style is in search of an idea.

3.5/4

Ultimately, the human component of Moulin Rouge is dwarfed by director Luhrmann's outlandish visuals and virtuoso use of music. It's unlikely that any other film this year will offer such a feast for the senses.

A-

The story is filled with heartache, romance, jealousy and life...while some of it gets a little dull in the middle, overall it’s Luhrmann at his best.

Baz Luhrmann makes sure that everything that comes before the tragic ending is gleaming with beauty and lavishness.

This movie is super strange and the only explanation to its strangeness is that it works in seven or eight different ways, some of them good and some of them bad. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie was great one of my favorites, but the seats at the Irvine spectrum regal are the worst ever I had the worst neck pain I had to go into my Chiropractor the next day.

I am a huge fan of Baz Luhrmann’s directorial style, and this film is the reason why. The intensity of the scenes, the performances, the music, and the editing are all thrilling to the senses, lending an epic dimension to this tale of love and tragedy set in the world’s most famous cabaret.

Campy classic for the hopeless romantic who loves to suffer. One of my favorite films of all time.
