Top CriticLots of laughs, lots of style: Strictly Ballroom is a wonderful prelude to Luhrmann's next two films.

Though made for a fraction of [Moulin Rouge]'s budget and with no big stars,Strictly Ballroom is the better film in every way.

There's no denying that it's also an all-around crowd-pleaser, offering as much excitement and emotion as any movie in recent months.

The plot is predictable, to be sure, but it's fun to follow along... Highly enjoyable no matter what one's taste in music or dance.

Funny, charming and energetic. Baz Lurhman's warm-up to MOULIN ROUGE.

A delightful confection from Baz Luhrmann, fresher and lighter on its feet than Moulin Rouge!
