Fantastic!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2018)

I liked lala land, but this made Lala land look like a colonoscopy in comparison.
The cast were spot on: from jackman at his best to newcomers like Keala Settle. Even zac Efron was tolerable....in fact he was pretty good.
Some of the critics reviews seem to focus on it drifting dramatically from its source material, which may well be true. If I watched titanic and the boat didn't sink I might be a bit peeved...however I didn't go watch this for the non-fiction account of the birth of circus, in fact far from it.
Close to a perfect film. Pre-ordered the blu ray from the toilet after
