Just like better man, micheal Gracey's direction is the only good thing about this piece of filth.
The characters weren't good, I barely knew any of the performers, I knew barely any of the other characters aswell which makes every emotional moment the funniest thing ever.
The cinematography is fine but nothing stands out.
The music is also fine, I didn't like or dislike any musical numbers even tho they are all kinda bland.
Everyone does a decent job but not a single actor stands out, they all blend in with how oke all of the performances are.(Watch my newest film shadows scare me on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/VbxI )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lavishly choreographed musical that sweeps you up in the spectacle and romance of Barnum's rise from nothing, though it glosses over the moral complications of his empire. It's a film that wants you to feel inspired and entertained above all else.
