A magical and moving movie experience

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2018)

My 9 year old daughter was adamant we went to see this because all of her friends had loved it. I was apprehensive, it was a musical, and yes I loved La La Land but typically musicals don't appeal to me and I didn't know anything about the plot.
When I came out of the cinema having watched it, I was truly astounded by the magic of the movie I had just watched and two weeks later we watched it again.
The opening scene grabs you from the first beat and you are hooked right up until the heartwarming final words.
The characters are so endearing, the songs wonderfully written and performed and the story carries and delivers some deep themes very well through a series of set piece scenes all fused with the catchiest movie songs you will ever come across.
I fear this may lose some of its magic on the small screen, its a true example of a big screen experience.
In the words of PT Barnum's character in the movie "It's everything you ever want, its everything you ever need and its here right in front of you"
Watch it, you won't regret it.
