Extraordinary family entertainment, just like Barnum himself!

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2018)

I'm sure that there will be some narrow minded critics who will label this film as "High School Musical in a tent" and to be fair, going into the film blind that's what I thought I was getting... For all of the first 2 minutes!
In fact it soon becomes apparent that, due to the sheer quality of the choreography in dance routines, the songs and the superb cinematography that this film is a contender for the title of best musical, even trumping La La Land in my opinion.
Everybody involved absolutely astonished me with their ability to sing, dance and entertain, just as P.T. Barnum himself would have done.
In short, this is an absolute must-see family film. Rarely has a musical kept me so entertained! Bravo!
