    Matilda Review
    This film has some good parts including the ending when Matilda's parents leave for Spain. But overall I think that this film dropped below the standards that people expected it to be. I definitely think that it's overhyped. I probably wouldn't recommend this to a casual film watcher. Unless their into musicals. I haven't seen the stage version of this so i wouldn't compare it to the stage version. Stephen Graham was a perfect pick to play Mr Wormwood. Emma Thompson exceeded below expectations of Miss Trunchbull. Alisha Weir was alright as Matilda. Lashana Lynch was good as Miss Honey. Overall.

    BEST MOVIE-MUSICAL
    This is an exceptional musical film adaptation! Perfect casting choices, incredible storytelling with the musical theatre aspect accentuating the beauty that was already found in the original story, well-directed choreography, and one of the best musical scores written for any musical (and that is coming from an extreme music theory nerd here ;)). Alisha Weir, playing Matilda, was more than excellant starting in this film. She personifies hope, empowerment, and perseverance in such a dignified manner. Lashana Lynch, playing Ms. Honey, radiated positivity throughout her role and sang beautifully... she was the perfect Ms. Honey. This was the best christmas gift this year <3.
