RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>Expectations are one of the biggest curses of a film critic like myself. You see a film with this title and imagery to go along, and then when you view the film, the experience is entirely different.<\/p>\n

\n

While I don’t think I would say I didn’t enjoy this, I was somewhat cursed with the idea of the film being a different experience. I was expecting something similar to 1984s AMADEUS and got a much different version of a “comedy” than I expected. That isn’t a slight against the film but a slight against myself and a lesson to sit back and experience the film instead of guessing what it will be.<\/p>\n

I’ve always taken pride in writing my reviews for an average audience. At the same time, I’ll occasionally veer off track and talk about things in a way that isn’t as easily digestible; I try to keep my reviews welcoming to all. A lot could be said about this film-watching experience, mainly because of the artistic eye of the director. In a nutshell, though, the film felt as high-brow as the theatrical experience it was telling us about.<\/p>\n

Ironically this is billed as a drama, but the period the film takes place in allows for some comedy to be mixed in as well; it’s just not as in-your-face as I was expecting. You would think with a title like this that, you would be laughing quite a bit, but the clown-like experiences are more sophisticated than I was expecting.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see this story unfold in such a surreal manner; at no point was I ever bored with the displays on the screen. You had picturesque sets and fantastic costumes that made you feel like you were there experiencing the story yourself.<\/p>\n
