Actually, it's hard to tell.  She maybe had three lines of actual
(spoken) dialog in the whole film.  When singing, even the best dramatic
actor looks like William Shatner.

Agree.

Agree.

I never saw "Cats" - isn't that that musical by Andrew Dice Webber, 
writer of offensive musicals? - Wait, no, that was - oh, nevermind...
However, I do want to see it again and again.

One point I'd like to bring up - during "And So Is Love", we see a
bird flying around the room, but then the bird dies at the end (this
seen, apparently, is also shown in the video for ASiL).

My question:  Did the (real) bird really get killed?  Or did Kate (the
real, live director, NOT the character she was playing) just HAPPEN
to have a dead, stuffed bird lying around?  Does she have a friend who's
a taxidermist?  My point:  For someone who's as animal-rights as Kate is,
killing off a bird (or even exploiting an already-dead bird), even for
the sake of art, seems someone out-of-character.
