Mike Leigh's leisurely love letter to that Victorian operetta team of Gilbert and Sullivan was just a joy to watch. The performances, set direction and costumes were top-notch. If anything, the script was a little weak and the editing a bit too leisurely in places. But if you're a Gilbert and Sullivan fan, enjoy the theater and want to see one of the best movies of '99, Topsy-Turvy is definitely the one for you.
