Sensational!

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2018)

I never thought I'd ever find a film I love more than The Shining (my favourite film of all time). The Greatest Showman IS my new favourite film. I can't express how brilliant this film is. I call it "a natural anti-depressant". This film would warm even the coldest of hearts. I left feeling happy. I left wanting more (and subsequently went back to see it again the next day!). I'm already booked to go again too. I cried practically from the start. The opening scene is the best I've ever seen. I've never watched a film that opened so brilliantly. Within seconds you're heart is pounding, your feet tapping and heart bursting with adrenaline. All the songs are fantastic (I've been listening obsessively since the first time I saw this film). My favourite scene was Jenny Lind singing Never Enough. WOW! I can't rave about this film enough. I loved Hugh Jackman before but now I'm obsessed! That moment during "come alive" when the scene goes into slow motion and he sings "come alive" whilst putting his hat on. Sent shivers. I've never even really heard Zac Efron talk before but I was blown away by his performance. Zendaya was fabulous. Her character was awkward and uncomfortable. She portrayed this character perfectly. I thought she stood out. Michelle Williams was brilliant. I can't speak highly enough of all the actors/actresses. This film has brought sunshine into my life. Brilliant. 10/10.
