Why it's great: "Without a doubt, Millennium Actress is a masterpiece. Fluid scene transitions, vibrant colors, and gorgeous pieces of music not only allow but force the viewer to feel empathy for the character. I admit, I was teary eyed for several scenes in the movie, it's cinema at its best." —IMDb user wassapjy
