Title: Disappointing in it's presentation
Review: First, my disclaiming caveat: I love Cirque Du Soleil; Alegria was the first one that I had seen live, so I had high hopes for this video. I knew going in that this was a movie in it's own right, not a filming of a performance.As a film, I didn't much care for it. The story took it's time in developing and then moved slowly once it did.There were some circus performances, but just enough to get annoyed at them. It made you want to watch the performances, not the intercuts to the dialogue/'action'. I can understand the desire to show off the performers and their rather impressive talents, but the acrobatics so overshadowed the plot/dialogue/acting that they could only suffer by comparison.Other notes: The set design and costumes were sumptuous, up to the usual CDS standards.
Is the review positive or negative?
