Amazed

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2018)

Being a working class, hairy bottomed, meat eating and somewhat a stereotypical male Neanderthal I was blown away by this film. I was encouraged (forced) to watch by my daughter and from the get go was fascinated by the use of colour and although this film is contemporary it has the feel of the great musicals of yesteryear. I loved the use of cars from several decades mixed with clothing and film studio backgrounds/scenery to give the impression that the film is set in one of several decades. The acting is superb and dispite my cynicism the music is well crafted and again crosses the decades in composition and feel. Can't say anything negative about this film and for all those like myself who would rather nail a leg to a church pew on Easter Sunday than watch a chick flick/Musical! Just watch it and between the soundtrack, visuals and Emma Stone's hypnotic beauty you'll be sold, you may not want to admit it but you'll be humming 'that' tune for weeks? The best thing I've seen in years with a superb ending. I'm off to take a flower arranging course as I am now in touch with my Feminine side.
