One of those

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2018)

I was shocked to find out that Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, the sequel was much better rated than this.
Mamma Mia! Changed my life and introduced me to the fantastic and talented universe of Meryl Streep's movies.
I have to say, and I'm not afraid to afirm it, that this is the best musical of the XXI century. Which means, CLEARLY, that it can be superated by musicals like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But to my eyes, this movie has a great script-songs balance (which is rare to find in MOVIE musicals), an excellent cast, very well chosen photography and colours, the coreographies are super musicalesques(?) and selection of time for each song is perfectly well selected as to the chronology of the story. Besides, and this is a SUPER extra beautiful point, anyone who ever heard at least ONE ABBA song, will feel extremely touch by the interpretation of all the songs that are carefully edited to last less than the original with the aim of not being boring or exhausting.
I HAVE TO SAY, that I can understand people don't appretiate this film very much and I strongly believe it's because of the plot.
The female characters are not "special" or "sexier" enough and he male characters are not "deep" or "strong" enough. It's just a romantic comedy made into a musical, with a story that can be recognized as very common.
But I think anyone with just a slight taste for the Feeling Good Cinema will FOR SURE enjoy this beautiful and thrilling piece of art!
