This is a strange musical, and one that my mind, some years from now, may mix up with Gigi, which has Leslie Caron, a similar title, feels kind of creepy, and is a colorful musical.
When it comes to Lili vs. Gigi though, I think Lili wins. It doesn't waste as much time, and even though the main premise is uncomfortable, it's never quite as gross or weird as the central premise for Gigi.
Those who like classic Hollywood musicals but want to see one go off the rails a bit and get kind of deranged (all the while showing a surprisingly high number of puppets) should probably watch Lili, but it's hard to see it as the kind of movie that's for everyone.
