Moulin Rouge (2001)
75%
“We're pulling for Luhrmann's audacious extravaganza. At the start, we feel this crazy celluloid can-can, concept can work. By the end, we feel maybe it just can't-can't.” –

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

Eve's Bayou (1997)
84%
3/4
“These characters sound suspiciously like southern Californians to me, and it's a lapse in authenticity. Otherwise, Eve's story is warmly believable. It's enhanced, and we're entranced, by the backdrop bayou beauty.” –

1917 (2019)

“"1917" is much elevated by its visual and aural elements, most notably the superb production design, sound mixing/editing and Thomas Newman's tense score, enhancing the key moments.” –

2.5/4

3.5/4

Yesterday (2019)
63%
2.5/4
“I can't help thinking it might've been better - and more fun - had it eschewed the alternate time-space continuum and just chronicled the real-life electromagnetic evolution of a tune called "Scrambled Eggs."” –

Rocketman (2019)

“Egerton's depiction of this charismatic character is infused with eclectic electricity. He does all his own singing. EJ said not to copy him too much but make the songs his own - and he has done so.” –
