A confusing, rather shapeless disappointment that fails to provide the viewer with a sense of the production's scale or storied beauty.

Top CriticA low-cal account of artistic endeavor and sacrifice.

Presumably there's an interesting yarn buried in the project, but Allan Miller's drab, diffuse documentary never quite locates it.

The sheer scale of the production, and the size of the venue, make the film interesting to watch.
