if there was ever a movie where the upbeat ending feels like a copout , this is the one .

this is an insultingly inept and artificial examination of grief and its impacts upon the relationships of the survivors .

does n't deserve a passing grade -lrb- even on a curve -rrb- .

the movie is so resolutely cobbled together out of older movies that it even uses a totally unnecessary prologue , just because it seems obligatory .

nohe 's documentary about the event is sympathetic without being gullible : he is n't blind to the silliness , but also captures moments of spontaneous creativity and authentic co-operative interaction .

what makes the film special is the refreshingly unhibited enthusiasm that the people , in spite of clearly evident poverty and hardship , bring to their music .

a beguiling evocation of the quality that keeps dickens evergreen : the exuberant openness with which he expresses our most basic emotions .

how this one escaped the lifetime network i 'll never know .

while easier to sit through than most of jaglom 's self-conscious and gratingly irritating films , it 's still tainted by cliches , painful improbability and murky points .

i have a new favorite musical -- and i 'm not even a fan of the genre

it 's fairly solid -- not to mention well edited so that it certainly does n't feel like a film that strays past the two and a half mark .

angel presents events partly from the perspective of aurelie and christelle , and infuses the film with the sensibility of a particularly nightmarish fairytale .
