It's great although i wish Miss Honey seemed warmer

The kids were great! The acting, singing, and dancing was all on point. Emma Thompson was also amazing and did a wonderful job.The other adults on the other hand were sadly forgettable. Even miss honey didn't feel like a main character. I grew up with the old 90's movie Matilda and miss honey was very important and you could feel that she loved Matilda with their acting. This miss honey had a beautiful voice, but it felt like there should have been more scenes with her teaching and talking to Matilda.I was entertained almost the entire two hours of film which is what i consider good. It's not perfect but it was still fun.

It's amazing and just powerful.

It's been 26 years since the premiere of Matilda, the iconic film of the nineties and cleverly directed by the great Danny DeVito. Today it is the turn of Matthew Warchus to take over and deliver us a perfect successor to the 1996 film with a sublime musical of the popular Roald Dahl novel.It is charming, dark and portentous.The script that Dennis Kelly writes simply shines with mastery to deliver us a movie that completely fills our emotions and sensations. It is a film that enchants from the beginning, but that does not hesitate to take us into darkness, authentically capturing that purest essence of the novel and for that the visual spectacle is totally marvelous that makes us be glued to the screen and simply enter in the musical and lyrical harmony of Tim Minchin that puts the most recent Netflix premiere at our feet.The cunning with which the director takes Kelly's splendid script to images, allows us to have a first-cut cinematographic experience when watching it. With perfect musical segments in choreography and dance and the darkness in moments of feeling that you are in a subtle world of Stephen King. That combination elevates to a point of maximum enjoyment of everything we are seeing on the screen and to a large extent hypnotized by the photography provided by Tat Radcliffe that intensifies all that greatness that this new version of Matilda supposes that at no time forgets that theatrical blood of which is fed.That good performance of all of the above mentioned makes us forget about the weak points that the film may have. The perfect compensation so that we end up more than satisfied with what we are seeing.From the greatness of Emma Thompson to the promise of Alisha Weir.Undoubtedly the greatest charm that we find is seeing Alisha Weir be the skin of Matilda; The acting charisma with which the little actress dazzles on the screen makes us excited about a promising one and that is that she comes face to face with all the poise of an Emma Thompson and both only make the screen shine with magic when we have them sharing the scene.I cannot leave aside the correct work that the rest of the children's cast does and seeing Lashana Lynch sing is priceless, in the same way I cannot leave aside the entertaining step of Andrea Riseborough and Stephen Graham as Matilda's parents.A cast that further highlights the good work that the film had already had.Conclution.It is a pleasant surprise, what it means to be the new version of Matilda for Netflix from Sony.A film full of emotions that transports you through all those sensitive fibers with which we count as a spectator. Joy, darkness, sorrow and hope cover the 117-minute journey to the pleasure of enjoying a perfect adaptation of a novel and a play, capturing the best of both scenarios to provide an enriching experience on the screen.A film that is worth watching and enjoyed by both adults and children, it is the journey through what it is to be a child and also what it means to be parents, it is a tale of the purest feeling called love.

? This is Cinema ?

It was Outstanding.Quick Sidenote - I don't know what some people were expecting because some people left the Cinema because of the Relentless Cruelty of Trunchbull. I don't think they knew what they were getting themselves into.Things I Liked -1. First and Foremost, the movie was Firing on all Cylinders in terms of Production, Direction, Musical Numbers, Character Performances, Strong Plotline. Everything was Operating at Peak Performance.2. The Lead Actress that Played Matilda puts in a Great Performance.3. Lashana Lynch was very good too.4. The Supporting Cast of Kids all Put in Good Performances. The Chubby Boy and the Blonde Girl with the Red Hat put in Great Performances. Those 2 Danced with Such Skill.Overall, it is Quite a Heavy-hearted Movie at Times and Everything Is Very well Put Together.
