The Greatest Showman | Review


The minute I saw the trailer for this film I knew I needed to see it. With a cast containing Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya, you could just tell it was going to be incredible.



This is one of those films that is made for the big screen. As much as I'm fully anticipating its DVD release, I could tell it was going to be much more magical at the cinema scale, and I was not disappointed. From start to finish I was drawn into the storyline and each of the characters. The songs are brilliant and I can confirm I have had the soundtrack on repeat for the past week, since watching it. To go along with this, the choreography really stood out to me, especially in the 'From Now On' number. Now as a very mediocre dancer myself this might not mean much, but it really contributed to what I considered, on a whole, to be a well thought out and directed movie. 

It was colourful and funny and heartwarming. It tugged at your heartstrings and made me literally want to throw my popcorn at the screen at one point.
I think I have discovered a new favourite, one that I will come back to again and again. It made me wish I was a trapeze artist who ran away with the circus, you know, as great films always do! 

This film will have you singing along at the top of your lungs and rooting for the down trodden. It's a rollercoaster but in the best way possible. I only have good words to say about it and would recommend it to everyone (as I have been).
