I actually thought, it was okay. Decent songs, great camera.

It's a musical about struggling artists in New York, most of whom have AIDS. That sounds terribly melodramatic, but the play (and thus the film) has the virtue of being inspired by the author's own life. As a musical, it's almost wall-to-wall music and unlike the last musical I watched, Les Misérables, the songs aren't all sung to the same two or three melodies. Plenty of variety in staging and tone (always love a good tango), it's not all heaviness and tears. There's plenty of humor, whether that's the observer character's awkwardness, the drag queen's impish personality, or that crazy performance art. I found it a little heavy-going at first because of imperfect dubs, theatrical acting and dated musical cues, but it picks up steam and I was eventually invested in the cast of characters.
