Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge! is a delight of a musical, complete with big numbers, catchy tunes, strong production value, and two romantic leads that fit the film’s needs perfectly all working in harmony to prove the film’s place among the Greatest Films of All Time.
Poignant themes of overcoming generational trauma and embracing your own self-confidence rather than finding it in the approval of others combine with an excellent musical soundtrack from Lin-Manuel Miranda in Encanto to give us an animated film worthy of a spot among film greats.
