Review
The theme of this movie really stood out, and the characters’ acting was exceptional. Zack Efron and Zendaya’s characters had a great bond with each other throughout the movie, and were well portrayed. However, Jenny Lind, played by Rebecca Ferguson, was underdeveloped, with no real background for the character; And although the amount of racism in the movie was in various scenes, it was only used in order to describe the hardship for P.T. Barnum and his circus “freaks”. The stunts and dance numbers in this film added a good amount of entertainment for the audience, which I enjoyed very much. Recommended to people with an interest for an emotional musical with catchy tunes.
