Reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 63% approval rating with an average score of 6.2/10 based on 16 critic reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "A slow build that won't work for everyone, Mr. Corman's dazzling visuals and catchy musical numbers are let down by rote characterizations and a main character who can be hard to root for."[10] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 57 out of 100 based on 12 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[11]
