The casting is superb as are the choreographies, music score, acting performances and the overall visual image.
It's an original take of the Matilda we all know and love and I loved every second of it.
The main characters were very believable and I was most impressed by the little girl playing Matilda. The story telling ability and the subtle acting were really impressive. Especially it being a musical, containing lots of over the top elements, you really feel like you get to know the characters and experience the journey with them.
I am not sorry I've decided to watch this, even though reluctant at first (as a new mom I find the plot much more disturbing than I did as a child).
