A great feeling of nostalgia

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2017)

This movie just brings a breeze from the old times, when you would see Mary Poppins going all the way down stairs, all those performers in All That Jazz... Hell... It even reminded me of Jim Carrey as the Mask, dancing mambo.
In many aspects, there are highlights I would mention in particular. I really missed seeing long shots for a single scene, with a superb performance. I would definitely like to watch again some of them more carefully.
Perhaps the way the story is unfolded might be classic, but in many other ways it's intriguing, and surprising eventually.
The actors did an excellent work. In this movie I laughed, I felt sad, I felt frustrated, I felt happy, I cried, I got angry, I screamed, I started pulling the hair on my head... The mix of the story, the performance and the music really made me feel part of that world. Except...! At some points you will figure out. A lot of emotional work can be felt here.
About the music... I think I started hearing it everywhere. It's so lively and colorful. It is just life as it is. Mr. Hurwitz must have gone through really tough nights playing, composing, experimenting...
The end of the movie... I think it's fantastic. It just speaks by itself. I think it has been made so easy to understand for most of audiences, and it transmits quite a strong message or two.
I will probably want to watch this movie again in a few months, or a year, just to go through all this story and all these feelings one more time. But it's going to be hard to forget!
