The movie was visually beautiful, however at times I felt the acting fell a little flat. There where a lot of mistakes I picked up on in dialogue. I saw the plot twist coming from a mile away. I didn't really sympathise with the characters that much and the nutcrackers role in the movie fell flat. (Also his lip makeup was rather odd). The main actresses American accent came through at times which was rather annoying. I found myself becoming disengaged with the movie at times. The highlight for me was, of course, Jack Whitehall.
