If you are looking for a boy/girl movie and nothing more, you will find it here but will be missing the greatest part of this movie. The choices of songs and so wonderfully performed by all the principles left me breathless.
I wasn't able to take my eyes off the screen because I was so fascinated by the set design, photography, colors, costumes --- I really am running out words to describe how overwhelmed I was by this movie, and I see about two movies a week. This was worth all the exposure to lesser films this year. I am really amazed that I am going so overboard in my praise because it really is not my nature. The last time I was even nearly so impressed was the drama of "Boys don't Cry". This, of course, is very different moviemaking.
You must, however, avoid bringing critical notice of some details. It is a fantasy nor reality and must be absorbed as such. Go see it in the best sound theatre available. You will miss much if you don't see it with full surround, best fidelity and a large screen
