The Critics Are Insane

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2018)

I have seen a lot of negative reviews from critics. They say it's not a fully accurate biography of PT Barnum or that the movie has flow issues and loses focus. I will say that all of that is completely lost on everyone I know that has seen this film including me. The movie flows very well and all the music is phenomenal. This wasn't made to be a bio pic. It is a musical entertainment piece. I think it captures the exact essence that Hugh Jackman mentions in the movie. Is it a conventional film, no, but it is pure entertainment. I could care less about all the details of Barnum's life. We pay to go to movies to escape our regular lives and be entertained and at that this movie is a 10/10. If you love great music go see this. .
