I'd read the hype but couldn't work out how the music and the setting and the genre quite fit but it really does! We need more music in films there were so many fantastic songs and performances yet it didn't once feel like a musical. I really loved the cast the costumes the music the light humour. Agree with a few commentators comparing it to dusk till dawn in the sense it feels like two halves. But I think that works so well I loved the finale and for gods sake stay until end of credits. Very clever I really did enjoy the ending it's definitely not your standard horror it's nice to come out of a cinema talking with passion about a film. I've chatted about this film with friends and straight away they say horror ooh no but there is more to this than gore and cheap frills I really recommend.

Fancies a nice film on a rainy afternoon and remembered how much I loved this. Just rewatched after years and years and it was just as lovely and magical as I remembered. Lost love and what could have been literally makes your heart ache for them all. The heartwarming ending makes it all worth it as well as a fantastic musical performance by all. Special shout out to all the Irish rock bands performances, the songs were fantastic as was Johnathan Rhys Myers voice! Definitely get the tissues ready if you're a softy like me as you'll need them. Also so nice to see robin Williams still so missed.

Was initially excited to watch this then so put off by the absolutely awful reviews. Which upon reflection were unfair also I sensed some pettiness with the critics reviews as they didn't like being asked not to mention what we later learn in the show. I've just finished episode 6 and felt compelled to write this review after the fantastic performances I've just watched. I agree the first few episodes setting the scene are a little slow and disjointed to begin with but it is all leading up to more! Give it a chance there really are some fantastic performances especially Holland who really gives it his all.
