Review of The Nutcracker

3/10
Too much Culkin!
22 December 2018
I love "The Nutcracker", I really do, but after seeing it live on stage so many times, I've come to expect more! First, Netflix classifies this movie as a musical! A musical! Ballet features no dialogue, and musicals feature people singing, so this classification makes absolutely no sense to me! Secondly, what was with the christmas tree angels? They are not featured in any other production of "The Nutcracker" that I've ever seen! And thirdly, why did they feel the need to zoom in on Macaulay Culkin's face all the time he's on screen? I know he was famous at the time, but I think they overdid it! All in all, not my favorite version of "The Nutcracker"!
