TL;DR

An aesthetically lush but narratively thin WWII spy drama, Moulin follows Jean Moulin with noir lighting and striking 35mm photography, but its conventional biopic approach and lack of broader context render the film visually arresting yet emotionally flat and overlong, failing to fully interrogate its subject or the war around him.
