Critics Consensus

A love-it-or-hate-it experience, Moulin Rouge is all style, all giddy, over-the-top spectacle. But it's also daring in its vision and wildly original.

Jack Mathews New York Daily News Moulin Rouge is an audacious, snappy visual and emotional feast of dishes both familiar and fresh. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Kidman and McGregor sparkle together; some songs enchant, a fine supporting cast give us some laughs, but it's not enough. There is nothing to savour, to reflect on. It's a film where style is in search of an idea. Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Joe Williams St. Louis Post-Dispatch Ultimately, the human component of Moulin Rouge is dwarfed by director Luhrmann's outlandish visuals and virtuoso use of music. It's unlikely that any other film this year will offer such a feast for the senses. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film The story is filled with heartache, romance, jealousy and life...while some of it gets a little dull in the middle, overall it’s Luhrmann at his best. Rated: A- Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Rory Doherty InSession Film The film is unassailable and impenetrable; it is triumphantly indignant and courageously simplistic. Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 Baz Luhrmann makes sure that everything that comes before the tragic ending is gleaming with beauty and lavishness.
