    It's a rollicking good time, full of genuine emotional pull and incandescent acting, and anchored by a passionate love for the theater itself which puts most human liaisons--including Shakespeare and Viola's -- to shame.

    This is a waking dream of truly operatic dimensions.

    It always surprises, never bores. It's also just damn good, on every possible level -- so go see it. Now.
    • Metascore: 53

    Though issues of politics and philosophy are touched upon, this is a film about the people inside the uniforms -- a story of human beings under pressure, forced by circumstance to make choices both impulsive and, on occasion, heroic. It's also the new year's single most satisfying movie experience thus far.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Gemma Files 90
    Sweet and hilarious, a classic crowd-pleaser which elevates rather than eviscerates the homespun eccentrics who make up its cast of characters.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Gemma Files 90
    Subtle, strange, off-putting, fascinating.
    • Metascore: 77

    The kind of thing Franz Kafka might have dreamed up, had he only had access to a daily dose of MTV.

    Man, I just can't recommend this enough.
