Reviews for Moulin Rouge
only lightly touches Montmartre's edgier lifestyle, but credibly renders a serviceable biopic of its prototypical artist.
A beautifully shot, measured movie that never really builds up enough sympathy for Lautrec to really move viewers.
Atmospheric drama with superior performance by Ferrer in lead. Great period set design, costumes.
