Title: Applaud the risk-taking -- but avoid the movie
Review: On the one hand, I applaud the risk taking in this cruel and creepy rendition of "Romeo and Juliet." With movies being so commercially uniform and predictable these days, it is nice to see someone attempting to answer their own muse. Sadly, this particular adaptation of the play is really awful. In my view, Luhrman completely misses the soul and heart of the original. What a conundrum-- Bravo Boldness! Bravo Art! Boooo The Movie!
