The critic in me had a couple of caveats:

—there were a couple of overly sentimental scenes, and the ending scene could’ve handled one particular moment more subtly (if something’s supposed to be a surprise, let me be surprised)

—some people might take issue with the “art is better than commerce” and “love conquers all” themes.

On the whole, though, this was a quite good adaptation of the stage musical, with wonderful performances and good use of film techniques.
