With a soundtrack like that, you can't really go wrong.

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2018)

This film is not a biopic, it's a musical based on P.T Barnum ideas and fantasies.
Although the story itself is rather messily cut together and feels more like a music video than anything else - the film's intention is not to create something heavy, complex and gritty. It is what Barnum wanted to do with his shows: just to entertain, thrill and just be enjoyable.
And that's exactly what this film does and more. The soundtrack is an absolute revelation and makes me feel happy every time I listen to it in the bus or go out for a walk.
It's not meant to be taken seriously. It's just there to entertain and help you let go. And I find too few of movies these days who can truly do that for me.
