Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical

"A musical adaptation of the book of the same name with some changes of characters from the book, but worth watching as the musical numbers and story expand on the world built and give a new past to a character!"

"A great musical adaptation of the original. We learn more of Honey's story in this version as well."

"I cannot put into words how much I loved this movie, but I’ll try. This is everything a musical adaptation should be. Larger than life, vibrant, and respectful to the source material. It took what was amazing about the stage musical and adjusted what it needed to to be fit for the screen. The choreography, the sets, the costumes, and of course, the singing were all perfect. Lashana Lynch was the perfect Miss Honey and her singing voice is stunning. It was so fun seeing Emma Thompson in a villain role and she crushed it! But not even their performances could compare to Matilda herself, Alisha Weir. She was spunky, lovable, and so so believable. She’s got a successful career ahead of her. With all the musical adaptations coming our way in the next couple years, if THIS is the caliber of film we have to look forward to, then us musical theatre fans are gonna be really happy."

"They should’ve left a Classic alone"

"Meh. I don’t know why they changed so much the story. The original is much much better. Still putting a thumbs up "

"Y’all- I get it, OG Matilda was a classic, BUT THIS ONE??? I couldnt have expected it to be so different but innovative, just give it a watch, be open minded, it’s really good. Also I knew Revolting Children was a broadway bop before watching this movie but those kids SANG their hearts out"

"A fantastic rendition of Matilda! The casting was absolutely beautiful, and the post-production was *chef’s kiss* More people need to watch this."

"I loved the original but not this remake. This one pretty awful. I do like the choice of actors, but the overall magic of the original was NOT in this one. "

"Musicals for me are really good or a hard no. This was really good!"

"It was brilliant. So much talent in this film/musical. All the children are so talented!! Loved to see Lashana Lynch playing the role of miss honey. Just watched Lashana Lynch playing badass, powerful and commanding Izogie in the Woman king. Such a shining star. "
