Sorry. That can't touch BE ON YOUR OWN.
I was expecting more from this song. Maybe it will grow on me.

That doesn't even to touch "Be On Your Own". I don't get this crap that "Be On Your Own" wasn't visual enough to work on screen.

I definitely think Yeston in that recent profile makes a clear and valid reasoning in why BE ON YOUR OWN isn't the right piece of music for that place in the film, its not that the song itself isn't cinematic (though it isn't) it has more to do with 4 songs in a row at the end of the musical that are ballads - so I welcome a new take

This song says everything "Be On Your Own" says in the last four lines, including having the same final words. You cannot stand and sing a 3 minute song that is static in a musical film which is why this works better. On top of it, this song says so much more about the characters and situation.
"Be On Your Own" is perfect for the stage version. This sounds perfect for the vision of the movie. FUNNY GIRL's "Music That Makes Me Dance"/"My Man" all over again in a way.
I thought this was a little bit like FOLLIES' "Live, Laugh, Love" where she is falling to pieces on stage, you can hear it in her voice and delivery and the awesome orchestrations.
I did not expect it to be like this at all and I'm happily surprised.

Not what I expected at all, but still good.
I agree with Pgenre, that this song has the same message as 'Be On Your Own' but will work much better in the film.
I've yet to be disappointed with a voice in this film!

I'm very curious to see Cotillard's actual performance. It sounds like she fills it with the same passion more evident in the lyrics of "Be On Your Own."
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

I'm surprised it sounds like a strip tease!
Miss Gypsy Rose Luisa!
I guess that's what she's doing in the number. "Peeling off" layers of herself until there's nothing left, as she says.

Sorry, but with Be on your own cut and Penelope singing A call from the Vatican this movie will be a violation to Nine.
Loving Kate Hudson´s voice though

That's because it is one. But as you said it's peeling off the layers of herself too.

It's such a great concept. Rob Marshall is really in his element and he truly is making the most out of it. Any chance this could even match or surpass CHICAGO? Not that it needs to, but the more and more I see/hear of this movie, the better it seems.
Cotillard's voice is great and I actually think Cruz' voice works wonders with "A Call from the Vatican," it's smokey and sexy. Simply can't wait.

That number has to be seen in the film. It's truly disturbing in context.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Which? 'A Call from the Vatican' or 'Take it All' ?

I'm pretty sure Smaxie was referring to "Take It All." I can't see how "A Call from the Vatican" could be described as "disturbing," hehe. Do you have any particular thoughts on the latter, Smaxie?

I meant "Take It All". I think Cotillard really scores with it in the film, even if it's not a beauty of a song like "Be On Your Own".

Sorry to burst your bubble Pgenre but TAKE IT ALL cannot hold a candle to BE ON YOUR OWN. It's a good vocal performance by Marion Cotillard no doubt but still the song is inferior to the song it replaces.

I am very pleasantly surprised with all of the new songs. Yeston knows what he's doing here.
This new song is wonderful, and appropriate, and Cotillard is simply perfect for Luisa.
and Hudson's new song is fun, and her voice is surprisingly good.
Most disappointing of what we've seen so far has been Cruz in Call From the Vatican, imo.

I'm yet to be persuaded that Be on Your Own was the one to cut if there were too many ballads in that part of the film. Surely, along with Unusual Way and (maybe) Vatican, it is the biggest number in the show.
It does sound a little like a song cut from Chicago, too.

Has all of "Call From the Vatican" been released yet? I only saw like 20 seconds of it, and I couldn't really make up my mind on Cruz's performance from that.

No, all I've seen of "Call.." is that 20 second clip of mediocre quality. Hardly enough to decide that Penelope Cruz's performance is a "violation to Nine", particularly when her performance has been garnering praise from the majority of people who have seen the screenings.
I really enjoy "Take It All". I'm getting very excited for this film.

"Call from the Vatican" is pretty great. A definite highlight of the film. Cruz is very playful, physical and sexy with the number.

Well, it is just 20 seconds, how could anyone make up their mind about a performance by just seeing a 20 second clip?
I'd be really happy if the trio version of "Take It All" is released as some sort of bonus track on the soundtrack. Was the trio version ever filmed? It'd be great to listen to it.
Marshall cut a huge amount of songs from CHICAGO and I think that's one of the best movie musical adaptations, I trust his talent and I'm sure he'll give us a great movie musical with NINE.

Smaxie, is SIMPLE definitely not in the film?
This one review states "Only With You" is the only song that was filmed but ultimately cut. I could have sworn SIMPLE was filmed.
