My favourite musical to film adaptation

“For fans of the musical, this really doesn't disappoint. It is brilliantly staged, choreographed, performed and acted throughout. I loved every part of it. It is much closer to the original darkness of the Matilda book, so anyone expecting to see the lighthearted American version of the 90s will be disappointed. However, it is very true to the stage musical.

Tim Minchin's songs are clever and catchy, and are some of my most common earworms, so I was very glad to hear them done justice in this film. When I grow up never fails to put a tear in my eye, and it did it again in this film. I loved the addition of a new song at the end too, which fit in well with the others and provided a well-rounded ending.

Thoroughly recommend this for any fans already - it won't disappoint ” read more
