Les Misérables, Tom Hooper 2012

There are emotive performances by Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway, but the singing is often poor (Crowe is as awkward as a trombone playing in a woodwind orchestra). 

The cinematography and editing are a drunken hellscape, shifting disorientedly from slanted to close-ups to tracking shots, and hurl-inducing shaky cams. 

The scenes shift at such a fast pace of set expositions like a continuous string of advertisements attempting to sell the film. The neurotic melodrama verges on emotional torment. 

5/10
