"The film that put Disney back on the map courtesy of a strong, catchy score from Ashman and Menken ... the gay subtext (circa late '80s Republican America) makes it a must for gay teens."
"Cinema's most beloved tortured icon is on indelibly charming form opposite Jane Russell in a tale of love and money, with some spirited numbers and feminist-lite shavings thrown in for good measure."
"The dictionary definition of a light, feelgood movie musical ... positively cornball but played with such infectious enthusiasm you cannot help but be sucked into it."
"As purely cinematic and riveting as any other film, never mind musical, to come out of Hollywood ... performed, directed, choreographed and edited within an inch of its chiselled life."
"Another subversively sincere and heartwarming tale from the mind of Tim Burton bolstered by a reliably colourful score from regular collaborator Danny Elfman, who won a Grammy for his efforts."
"The Orphean Myth as told in Paris at its most famous nightclub circa 1900 with the help of popular music from David Bowie, Nirvana and Elton John among others ... glorious, gut-wrenching and insane."
"Part scathing satire on American censorship, part loving pastiche of "Les Miserables", the result is the most enjoyably obscene Hollywood musical in recent memory."
"Belying its one man show roots with some fantastic visual flair and gorgeous songs, John Cameron Mitchell's labour of love is a daringly fabulous and ultimately moving piece of American indie cinema."
"Politically questionable and outrageously manipulative it may be, but Björk's star turn and gorgeous self-penned numbers make Lars Von Trier's opus required viewing."
"The apex in modern movie musicals, featuring outstanding acting, complex songs and a frightening sense of forboding of the encroaching Nazi apocalypse."
