Rob Marshall directs this big-budget musical based on the classic Fellini film 8 1/2. Set in early 1960s Venice, the film follows famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he struggles to complete his latest project on the eve of his 40th birthday. Meanwhile, he must also juggle the various colourful women in his life: his wife Luisa (Marion Cotillard), his mistress Carla (Penelope Cruz), his muse Claudia (Nicole Kidman), his producer Liliane (Judi Dench), his mother (Sophia Loren) and even a prostitute who resurfaces from the depths of his past (Stacy Ferguson). Kate Hudson co-stars as the American journalist who interviews him about his life and work.

I know nothing

By chenny (70 reviews) from Bristol , 26 Nov 2009

[Highly rated reviewer]

And yet I feel fully qualified to write a long, turgid review, expressing my puppy like excitement for something which I have never seen. Is this just me being a stickler for the rules, and a misanthrope, or would we all be better served by people who actually know what they're talking about.

Come on people.

Rising stars, head liners and has beans, rubbish film

By a customer , 05 May 2013

Amazing cast mix of rising stars, head liners and has beans, rubbish film, best avoided unless you have a desire to waste 110 minutes of your life.

Be Italian, then be bored...

By Renza (15 reviews) , 01 Apr 2013

I adore musicals but have no love for this film. There is only one good song in the score, the fiery 'Be Italian' performed by Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame. This is the song that first attracted me to watch the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the score fails to impress. A good cast wasted on a vapid, slow-moving and disappointing musical.

Nine refers to the max number of minutes you will watch it.

By Bobsview (549 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 11 Mar 2013

Musical drama about an italian film director. Hated it. Abandoned after a few minutes. A painful, annoying and tedious film. Unwatchable.

So far from the brilliant 8 1/2 by Fellini

By Long-neck (1 review) , 07 Feb 2013

Wonderful acting but once you have watched 81/2 by Fellini, this film is shadowed by it's masterpiece. Also although two songs are beautiful and dynamic, the rest of the score is clumsily written and awkward. Bit of a let down
