Extremely well directed - John Chu deserves more kudos than he gets. A real film. It's opened up. Leans in to the benefits of filmmaking in 2024 with animatronic animals and so on. Gets points fot giving the juiciest role to a relative unknown Cynthia Erivo - who will no longer be unknown. Ariana Grande is more limited but is perfectly cast so it doesn't matter.
Gorgeous colours. Gutsy story. I did feel the momentum dropped when they got on the train - the film could've ended there really (as it was the end of the emotional connection between the two leads).
Jonthan Bailey seems to channel Rupert Everett - a good thing for the role.
