To me, this movie is perfection.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Looking for something that was not too heavy over the holidays, I turned on this to hear the music. It was nicely assembled and had some fun insights into a remarkable career. I was surprised to get some global warming and genetics in there, too. But it was a fine way to spend an evening. The tribute at the very end went on a bit too long for my tastes, though.
