Cyrano is the well known classic tale of unrequited love by Cyrano, the master of language who is in love with Roxanne. He believes Roxanne could never love him (classically) because of a nose deformity, and (presently) because he is a dwarf. There have been many film adaptations (my favorite being the one starring Steve Martin) and this one is even a musical. If Peter Dinklage could sing (better, to be fair, he is not terrible but he is also not great), it might have worked better because the rest of the supporting cast is quite talented. The costume design is beautiful and certainly worthy of a nomination, and often is the kind of period piece that wins Oscars. The songs are also very well crafted but the movie dragged in a way that it shouldn't have.
If I were someone who rated films, I'd call this one 3 stars (out of 5). Not the best, but perfectly fine.
