Roxie is about humanity's eternal ability to fall in love and to experience the joys and horrors of that magical state. The movie follows with pathos the problems of mature men and women and also of a hooker caught in the tragedy of her own hurtful game. As a person "of a certain age," I loved seeing excellent actors of my own generation (as well as young people) on the screen, depicting the dilemmas we can face. The film is funny, riveting, surprising and sad. My husband, who is a devoted movie buff is also a brutal critic. If a movie is dull or flags even for a bit, he instantly falls asleep. He was awake for every moment of Roxie which we saw at San Francisco's Sanford Meisner Film Festival. This movie is an original. You WANT to see it.
