The opening scene is a grabber. Agreed. I watched it several times. The rest of it is beautiful, hard, physical, and a feat of pure talent and genius on the part of the entire cast, crew and chorus. The physicality alone is stunning. I haven't dropped my jaw this much watching a movie ever, and only once watching a Cirque du Soleil show. The writing and content is hard, its dark and the music hits me in a way that my 21st century desensitized brain isn't used to, so I felt it. Again, pure art. Worth your time.
