Cinema Magic

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2018)

I'm not one who particularly loves Musicals, so when I heard this was a very musical movie I wasn't overly optimistic heading in.
After the first song...I was hooked. The movie transports you to another time, a time of true cinema magic. I can't quite put my finger on what works so well, but the songs perhaps are the best part. Hearing my daughter singing them on the way home and demanding I play the soundtrack is a welcome change from the usual Disney fare that we play in the car.
What's disheartening is that critics don't seem to understand what this movie is trying to accomplish. They fault it for historical inaccuracies but fail to appreciate its escapist qualities. For the runtime I felt like I was in another place, and I can't wait to see it again and be transported again.
A true musical classic.
