“For fans of the musical, this really doesnu0026#39;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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTim Minchinu0026#39;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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThoroughly recommend this for any fans already – it wonu0026#39;t disappoint like many other musical to film adaptations.”
