      Nanette G Creepy. Annoying. Hard to watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Teddy B Maurice Sendak's unique vision that simply oozes through the art direction and the faithfulness to the story help differentiate this version from the gigantic bargain bin that is The Nutcracker adaptations. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Even with the Maurice Sendak-designed sets and direction by Carroll Ballard, this version of the classic ballet seems rather stilted. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Super surreal and more than a little bizarre, but one of those holiday classics you just can't do without. Sure to traumatize/delight generations of to come. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite Christmas Movie growing up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Gideon L A beautiful ballet completely ruined by the "genius" of Maurice Sendak. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/31/12 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
