Reviews for Moulin Rouge
Atmospheric drama with superior performance by Ferrer in lead. Great period set design, costumes.
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.
