A string of short music videos

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2020)

A very disappointing in terms of a movie. The story line is weak and left to bare minimum, the motivations of the characters are not clear, and the characters themselves are reduced to clichés. The title does not live up to the expectations - I still cannot perceive why the main character was a great showman?? Colleting 'freaks' and showing them to the public does not make anyone a great showman. Also, the movie seems to be patched together with a series of short music videos, some of which are quite repetitive in terms of choreography and execution. On the positive side, the costumes are lavish, the topic is intriguing, there are some interesting findings in terms of movie shooting and editing. But overall, the movie is not worth watching as it is void of meaning.
