It's like the Britney Spears "Circus" tour performed by the people of the Hunger Games' Capitol, except I like both of those things, and I don't like this. (Okay I like Lady Marmalade.)
I can't get invested in this plot or feel any emotional connection when it's so frenetic and wacky.
Moulin Rouge!
No laws. No limits. One rule. Never fall in love.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dazzling, feverish celebration of artistic passion and doomed love, where the boundary between performance and reality dissolves in a whirlwind of color, music, and emotion. It's extravagant and earnest all at once, a film that wears its heart completely on its sleeve.
