A SPECTICLE

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2017)

A fantastic film, with wonderful, uplifting music by incredibly talented songwriters. I had goosebumps within the first two minutes of the film. I had a hard time finding something to dislike about the movie, I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole thing - which I suppose would be the only criticism I had. It seemed to take a long time for their to be any major conflict in the film, and the ultimate problem never occurred until the last act. I related the film very much to a stage musical, both in structure and content, it was build build build positively for more than half the film, then a brief problem was quickly resolved towards the ending.
Overall, I loved this film, as I said I couldn't stop smiling. Beautiful music by Pasek and Paul, and a wonderful, artistic, and theatrical story told.
