The low reviews for this movie is a tribute to what poor quality entertainment our society wants. I am NO fan of Madonna and frankly I am shocked she had this movie in her. It is complex, beautiful and an experience not to be missed. I only watched it because the music is my favorite composer but based on the reviews I didnt expect much. The costumes were outstanding as was the set design. But honestly it was the performance by the two lead actresses that had me mesmerized. As a side note, I think the actress playing the original Wally is the next Meryl Streep. She nailed her role! I cannot believe she didnt get an Oscar.
