Well, so I watched it yesterday night and thought I'd annoy you guys with my lousy opinion. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the vocal work because I saw a syncronisation, but anyway.
What I really liked was that there was no music except for when there really was music. It gave the movie a very cold, intense atmosphere in which you could almost smell the passion, the pain and the anger.
During the first few senes I noticed several things:already at that early stage of her career, Miranda already had some of her "typical" facial expressions, and I do not only meet her lovely frown (I want to be able to frown like her! How many lines can she get onto her forehead? Five, six? ), but others, that reminded me a lot of her performance as Rita Skeeter, which already is the second thing I noticed. she apparently saw some parallels between the two women: passionate, a bit vamp-like, femme fatale.
It has already been agreed that Dance is a masterpiece, and so I won't keep going on about that. I greatly admire Newell for not making a movie about Death penalty, though, for instead making a movie about the woman, about her life, her destiny, her sorrows and fears. About her flaws and mistakes. About the way she was shaken to and fro by her passion, or should I say obsession? About the way two people destroyed both their own life and that of the other. And about the way they walked over everyone else during this tragedy, blind for everything but their passion and themselves, often even blind for one another, and yet unable to end it.
I admire Newell for making the movie the way he did.
