Alexander S Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet is an innovative take on the classic tale, set against the vibrant backdrop of 90's culture. Although some scenes may feel overly sentimental or cheesy to viewers who don't enjoy romance, the film's creativity and modern twist are praiseworthy.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Mason M I'm teetering on the edge between a 3.5 and a 4 star rating for this film. This is a very difficult movie to properly rate. On one hand because Romeo & Juliet is such a a famous story and such a part of our culture that it's almost impossible to give an unbiased opinion on it. And because Baz Luhrman's filmmaking is so over the top. But I did really enjoy Luhrman's take on this story. During the first 10 minutes of the film, I had to try not to laugh because of how absurd everything in this film is. But I was surprised how much Luhrman was able to make me take the story seriously by the end and appreciate it dramatically. Luhrman does have a visual eye like no other in this film, the set pieces are so grand and intricate I don't even know how he came up with any of it. On a similar note, this had some of the most gorgeous photography I've seen in a while. The two young leads do bring an emotional tenderness to the smaller and more romantic scenes, and the rest of the cast does a good job seriously giving Shakespeare's dialogue. Romeo + Juliet is ultimately successful due to Luhrman's impressive visual eye and his ability to get the dramatic out of the over-the-top.
