Attended the premiere last night. The event was very fun - most of the cast including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent were present.
As for the movie - bravura filmmaking, to be sure. Bold, ambitious, beautiful - and must be seen on the big screen. Seeing the actors all play multiple roles was fun. It's worth going for Hugh Grant alone.
I think by now everyone knows its 6 different stories, set in different times but linked by theme and character. Of the 6, I was very interested in 3 and would have liked even more of those stories - the other 3, not as much. And even at almost 3 hours, I still had questions about certain plot points (also the sound in Grauman's Chinese is terrible.)
But it will be around in awards season, for sure.
