Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Kirpianuscus more than you expect. a show who seduce and fascinate and gives a lot of emotions, surprises, states. nothing surprising from Cirque du Soleil but, in same measure, nothing expected. because it is expression of admirable art and hard effort. it gives a love story as frame for a chain of artistic moments. and this is one motif, maybe not the most significant, for define it as total show.
Mihai Toma A lonely girl goes to see a local circus where she receives a poster with "The Aerialist" whom she seeks the entire movie. She only appears for a couple of minutes, the rest being filled with spectacular circus moments.Unfortunately, that is about it in terms of story, which, from my point of view is a big disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy circus, especially high quality one depicted in this film but that is not enough to create a movie. If you simply want to see circus with apparently no connection between moments (indeed, flawlessly executed and shot), then this one is a must see. If you are looking for an actual movie which has a plot, an intrigue, a finale and so on, just like I did, then you'll have to search elsewhere. I really was expecting something more than a circus documentary...
Tejas Nair I was intrigued by the title. But, now I know why I shouldn't be watching movies simply based on the title & trailer.No dialogs, no plot, no screenplay - just plain circus show with crescendos here & there. The cast is directly brought out of some professional circus band. The lead characters seem to be happy the makers cast them in a specious flick. Their expressions evince that, throughout. The music is the only thing worth listening to. And since the dialogs are absent, it will save you, should you take a chance to watch this horrendous torture.In general sense, I like watching circus shows. But, this is monotonous, illogical & increasingly circuitous. A cruel 0.8/10 for this blunder. Instead, go watch a native show. That'll be entertaining & economic.BOTTOM LINE: Not at all recommended because there IS nothing to recommend. Could be the lowest rated movie in my list. Stay away & let the glamor not fool you!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity/Vulgarity: No | Sex/Foreplay: No | Nudity: Mediocre | Violence: Mild | Gore: No | Smoking/Alcohol: No
Visqueraient Being a Cirque movie, I kinda knew what to expect (loose plot, allegorical imagery, etc.) but the visuals were really breathtaking. Seeing the acts up close, with vivid costumes and colours, it would look great even if it wasn't in 3D! It would have been great if they could put La Nouba in, and some of the touring shows, but time and logistics constraints didn't permit. So it is a sort of promotional film for Cirque's Las Vegas productions.Generally speaking, the music composed specially for the movie was only mildly memorable. I had fun, though, identifying the existing themes and tunes from the different shows (there was even a bit of Simcha in the old-school circus at the beginning ;)However, the one thing that bugged me after seeing the whole film was that there was too much Beatles! Although Zumanity didn't appear much (for the sake of family-friendliness perhaps), and as a whole the acts selected were awesome, it seemed to be one Beatles song after another. Cirque has always emphasised the use of Cirquish (an invented language) for lyrics, which does not distract us from the act. And to add insult to injury, Mystere only made a single appearance in the film (a cube act, I believe). How can the longest-running Cirque show in Vegas only merit a passing mention? Thank goodness Viva Elvis only made a single appearance (a trampoline act). Nevertheless, the saving grace of the movie was the inclusion of much material from O and Ka. Ka really brought home the point that it was possible to do dramatic fight scenes live on stage, and 'O' showed us what was possible with water.I'd still recommend Worlds Away to my friends, as a gateway into what Cirque du Soleil is about.
