Moulin Rouge — love it or hate it, there's no in between

Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge is either a dazzling postmodern musical masterpiece or an unwatchable seizure-inducing mess depending on who you ask. I'm firmly in the love-it camp. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor singing modern pop songs in 1890s Paris shouldn't work but it absolutely does.

The Roxanne tango scene alone is worth the price of admission.

I went in skeptical and came out completely converted. The energy, the color, the emotion — it's overwhelming in the best way. Kidman deserves every award.

Couldn't make it 30 minutes. The editing gave me a headache and the anachronistic music felt gimmicky. Different strokes I guess.

El Tango de Roxanne is the single best musical sequence in a film this decade. Pure cinema. I've watched it 20 times.
