An enjoyably bonkers pastiche to beat the winter blues
6 / 10
Archness is the order of the day, the brisk, interval-free affair (with book by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli and Tye Blue, the latter directing) trading on the best-known tropes and scenes, avid for cheap, camp shots. If you have genuine tears to shed for the victims of the disaster, it’s best to leave them at the door. That said, although it’s a case of anachronisms-a-go-go (in this irony-laden 1912, there are gags about texting, aubergine emojis, Grindr and the like), there’s a surprisingly decent fit between the storyline and Dion’s ballads.
