Although I have never seen it on-stage, the film version - for me - was so enchanting that I now cannot wait to obtain tickets to it. It provided depth and context and layers to all of the characters that the stage production cannot do. He won me over within 5 minutes. Boasting striking color, near-breathtaking flare and brilliant dynamicity, this film is, if nothing else, a masterpiece of art direction, with John Fenner and Paul Kirby translating Andew Lloyd Webber's spectacular with an abundance of graceful artistry to the thoroughly attractive visuals, complimented by John Mathieson's lushly handsome cinematography.

The actors themselves light up the screen and play their parts to perfection.

Emmy Rossum is beautiful portraying Christine and her transformation from a young innocent to a woman who is aware of herself, her sexuality, and the world of love. 261 out of 360 found this helpful. One never quite buys that these two share a grand passion, but rather negotiate an exchange of protection for possession.
