Fabulous offbeat musical masterpiece
I loved this movie since I first saw it, its a beautiful, fun, offbeat and weird extravaganza that you wont be able to resist, there is a clothed sex scene played for laughs (not graphic) references to sex, and seeing its set in a nightclub there are some prostitutes and sensual dancers, there is no nudity except for one scene where Satine changes clothes, nothing shown, a man uses jelly as breasts and a character coughs up blood and another character dies, a man sings a song about prostitution, all in all its a great love story, with some comedy, some drama, a lot of music and a hint of quirky Baz Luhrmann humour stirred in for flavour. I love it! See it!

One of the best movies of all time!
This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. I do have to say that there are plenty of sexual innuendoes, and I wouldn't recommend watching it with your child, just because it could be somewhat awkward. But if you think that would be fine with the relationship you have with them, then go for it! There are lots of references to sex (it does take place in a brothel) but there is no nudity, and it has one of the best messages I have ever seen in a movie. I would recommend it to anybody.

Good
I loved this movie, it's just like Chicago. I thought it was a cute love story, but I didn't like the ending. Otherwise, it was a really good movie.

Great movie!
I loved this movie! The first time I saw it was when I was 7, but now I'm OK. This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. I do have to say that there are plenty of sexual innuendoes, and I wouldn't recommend watching it with your child, just because it could be somewhat awkward.

Gorgeous film
Beautiful acting. Great plot. Sad ending( keep a tissue with you). However it has a sexual theme throughout as the main character was a prostitute. Great film though

The Movie of the Century
this is deffintily one of my all time favorite movies. the acting, (esceapcially ewan mcgregor) is to die for! although the movie is about a prostittue earning it a pg13 rating, it actually cleaner then most pg movies ive seen. the language is extremely clean; whore is about as bad it gets. the ony thing concerning me is the like a virgin song - really cachy but ou proably dont want your kids going around seeing it. and the other thing is the use of abstinine, a drug resembling alcoholthat induces hilutuinations.

Spectacular, Spectacular!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Though some sex and drinking might offend some, this move has a great message, and encourages standing out, truth, and love. It's flashy scenes and emotional songs make it unforgettable.

Great for teenagers. Questionable for young children.
This is by far the best movie I have ever seen. The sexual content is nowhere near as bad most movies. Moulin Rouge sends a positive message to teens and adults everywhere. Beautiful story of love. Great actors.

Great Music - Hated the Cutting!
This was an OK movie. I liked the music the best. The acting was very good but it was a sharp movie. There was a lot of cutting of scenes from one thing to the other. Also there was sexuality in it. It was kind of inappropriate in some places but it was good. I would say 15 and up would be good.

Best Movie Ever
This is the BEST movie ever. Leading actors Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman star in this. The music, the actors, the format.. Everything is spectacular. Some things your kid may need to know is the achohol usage. Its not a main issue, just make sure your kids know that underage drinking is bad. Another concern is sexual content, and again make sure your kids are mature enough to handle it.

Moulin Rouge is probably my favorite movie of all time. I think that this site may over exaggerate some of the lesser qualities of the film because even though it has alot of sexual themes, it never really goes beyond mentioning it. The worst parts are in the beginning of the movie. This movie is more about the power of love than lust and is very creative.

amazing...
Moulin Rouge is definately one of my favorite movies of all time. It is the kind of movie that some people love and some people can't stand but I think that it is definately worth the two hours it takes to watch it. This movie is propelled by Baz Luhrmanns amazing talent and artistic visions and is beautiful in every aspect. Not to mention there are amazing songs and a pretty good plot.

Wonderful movie
I think everyone should see this movie. It was a univeral success for good reason. I'm sure you've heard of it! The beginning is a little odd, but it picks up very soon and becomes an engrossing love story between a courtsean and a penniless writer. I laughed I cried, actually sobbed, and felt very touched at the end. Well worth a watch, or maybe two!

A really great movie
Wow what can I say my favorite movie! Well this movie does take place in a nightclub so sexuality will be there but it certainly is not explicit. Violence is pretty much not there except for implications and you see a gun. There is a lot of drinking and stuffs but people don't really get drunk or anything it was just the time era.

THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!
I loved Moulin Rouge. I was crying so hard at the end of the movie. This movie is full of romance and pure love for one another. All of my friends enjoyed it. This movie has a great message to everyone. Remember, the greatest thing you`ll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.
