Needed this movie today! Lots of simple reminders in this one.

What a dynamic, vibrant and rich film. The filmmaking kept me so engaged!! And the lyrical, witty dialogue was so packed that it’s impressive how much they managed to fit into a 90 minute run time without it ever feeling tiresome. 

Colin Firth cameo was also such a delightful surprise!

All razzle but no dazzle!

I had quiet reservations about this given the last two instalments couldn’t quite live up to the brilliance of the first one.
HOWEVER…
I am just struggling to put into words how freakin’ good this was. God, I love you Bridget. What a send off. Cried like a baby. Laughed so much. Beautiful. Wonderful. Incredibly moving. No notes. Felt like the warmest hug in the world.

I need to rewatch this because ittedly it was a late screening and I was getting tired. (So my rating may go up once I’m a bit more conscious on a second viewing.)

Firstly: I didn’t hate it, but I don’t think the hype was justified. 
Cast were outstanding and I fucking adored all the Vegas stuff. Moments like these I forgot I was watching a movie. Good! Yes! 
I also really love how Sean Baker balances realism with that heightened fantasy. That’s the kind of movie making I’m into.
But then…then they wouldn’t stop shouting and it started dissolving into a mess that I just couldn’t get into. I’m quite literally the same age as Mikey Madison but man, I just wanted them to SHUT UP! Am I starting to sound like a pensioner at the ripe old age of 25?!

No more late night screenings for me! :)

Made my heart go pitter patter

I loved it. There’s this warm and cozy feeling that I lap up every time I watch these kinds of movies. I laughed and cried (both happy and sad tears). 
This is definitely a story we’ve seen told many times before on screen, but this one isn’t trying to be unique or different in any way. It plays into the familiar, and I actually kinda loved that. 
Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield have such insane onscreen chemistry. I believed every word they spoke. 

Chills chills chills.

Not nearly as intelligent or charming as the first two, but still so irresistible and wholesome - does the job just fine!

Not my cup of tea, but that doesn’t mean I hated it or I thought it was bad. There has clearly been a lot of work and attention to detail that has gone into this - and it shows! The direction, cinematography and production design were beautiful. Loved the melodrama and how atmospheric it was too!

Planet of the Robbies! 

Okay, let’s address the chimp in the room…
Totally unnecessary! Could have been a perfect chance to cast an unknown in the role and sky rocket their career in a movie that has all the elements of a hit — great music and filmmaking! 

It takes a lot to suspend any disbelief with a musical movie, but then to make the lead character be played by a monkey?! Next level suspension of disbelief which did not work!
Other than that, a cinema experience completely ruined by a projector issue and a very obnoxious woman in front of me and Jack. Grrrrrr

Too much going on in too little time. Great concept but the ending was ??
I always love Doctor Who most when Steven Moffat writes the show like it’s a fairy tale, and when the Doctor feels more human than alien. Those scenes in the hotel with just him and Anita were so beautiful.

Auld lang syne!!

(More lesbians on the Orient Express please!)

I’m so glad I revisited this movie. I can never take my eyes off Judy Garland whenever she’s on screen. The vibrancy and joy of this film — I cry every time when she sings Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. 🥹

Leave Carrie Bradshaw alone!!

❤️ Hugh Grant ❤️

An average documentary elevated by incredible archival footage but let down by a poor narrative structure and edit…

It feels unfair to compare it to Rocketman, given the differences in storytelling styles, but the Elton John biopic still feels like the definitive visual exploration of his life and music.

I’m not a box. I don’t have a size. This is it! One size fits ALL!

Started off strong!! Then turned into a massive load of horse shit. Two hours has never felt so long…
Wasted potential!

This review may contain spoilers.

I could be super nit-picky about some technicalities and things I would have done slightly different, but I don’t want to, nor should I because I’m just so grateful this film was made and exists and was done with such love, care and respect for the source material. 

My mum showed me The Wizard of Oz as a kid and took me to see Wicked when I was in Year 4, and it started this love affair of musical theatre. Super dooper special.

This film has been something I’ve craved (and that has been in constant development) since I was a little kid and now, at 25 sitting there (around an audience of predominantly queer people) at the IMAX being completely immersed in this world was genuinely one of the most surreal cinema experiences I’ve ever had.

My eight year old self was chuffed. And deeply emotional. 

Ariana Grande was the most perfect Glinda. Truly. Cynthia Erivo brought such a different side to Elphaba that I haven’t seen before - my god, the vulnerability!  There is so much to talk about with this movie, so much to love.
The sets! The costumes! The nods to the Wizard of Oz! The SCORE! 
And that CAMEO! That. CAMEO!

Jon M Chu, if you’re reading: thank you so so so so much. I could only dream of one day directing a big movie musical like this.

Bring on multiple rewatches and Part 2. 💚🩷

Cute, easy watch but really underdeveloped and a waste of such a cool premise and Aubrey Plaza…

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life, Leonard.” 

Faultless. So well written and pieced together. There are lines and performances in this movie that I will probably be thinking about for days. 

This has to be one of the best female-led casts of all time.
