A Magical Epic

In a film that scarcely feels its age, nuanced and believable characters populate a dreamy world of theater and carnival. The film skillfully balances intersecting love triangles that feature a lot of brilliant lines and character moments. The entire film has an other-worldly feel - such that the theater scenes and the "real life" scenes feel almost interchangeable. The script itself is brilliant - perfectly playing with themes of love and longing and featuring some witty comedy, as well.
