Featured review
Even the kids hated it. At end daughter asked if we could put it in the rubbish. I wanted to stop watching by halfway.
Holocaust themes, dark and violent for younger children, and lots of rat teeth.
To be fair, make-up and costumes were alright plus Elle Fanning is gorgeous and a talented actress but even as the main redeeming feature she was unable to support this holocaust-themed bastardisation of a ballet. Tim Rice may be good at lyrics but the breaks into song were un-natural and whole thing forced, boring and dreary. Composers would be turning in their graves. I truly hope I never watch this again!
