Did not know what to expect going in, but loved it!

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2019)

The movie honestly transported me to a different place, a place of dreams and fantasy, where anything is possible for anyone. It made me feel hopeful and a bit more confident.
The cinematography, acting & singing are all incredible!
And though some of the plot was a bit wonky... like how everyone forgave Barnum just like that and how the girls don't age (and some other things I don't really remember because I liked the movie a lot). And although I hate(d) the part with Jenny Lind indeed (though the actress and the song are amazing), the fact that he's ashamed of his employees and I do think some of it (like Rewrite The Stars, though it displays a shedload of talent, sorry not sorry) was really cheesy, it's still an 8/10.
And I love how much it means to people, that's honestly worth more than anything else in the universe.
The concept/theme of the circus and helping people believe in themselves instead of living in shame, did remind me a bit of the Butterfly Circus, (which is a brilliant film, please watch it if you haven't yet),
but it was portrayed in such a way that it was different enough to hold its own and be pretty succesful at that
