A great truly unique experience.

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2018)

I have been told to watch this film for a while now and I have now watched the Greatest Showman and I really enjoyed watching this film. The premise of this film sees a man come up with the idea of showcasing unique individuals in a performance to impress people. Hugh Jackman plays the lead in this film and he does such an amazing job in the role as PT Barnham in this film, you see his characters vision in the film and are rooting for him so much. He delivers in all the singing scenes and I cannot stress how perfect he was in this film. The supporting cast also does a great job, Michelle Williams plays Jackman's wife in the film and i thought she did a good job in the film, their chemistry is decent and when given some time to shine she does a pretty good job. Rebecca Fergurson is great in this film as a legit singer and you see the good and bad that her character brings to Jackman's life that actually provides some interesting storytelling in the film. Zac Efron and Zendaya are growing as perfromers and both have big roles in this film and I thought they worked very well together and made me careabout certain aspects of their story. The story has some interesting story beats that look at social issues which works as well as you would expect for a film like this. However, it always feel like the story is secondary in this film and that certain things take place just to lengthen the film out and add some drama to the film. The script has some really good quick snappy dialogue in it, expecially with fun humourous moments but it also works when it needs to turn dramatic aswell. The style of this film is so incredibly unique, the songs and dance sequences are ridiculously entertaining and catchy, they are the things that you remember coming out of this film. But some of the CGI used in the film looks poor and not completely finished which does affect the film. Overall this film is a great experience and is worth a watch for sure especially if you are a fan of musicals.
