So I just read this is based on a musical and ai dislike musicals. Because in general the singing is not the best and lyrics is form follows function.
However if we would replace the singing with poetry it would have been great. The story really works mildly infuriating one throughout. The singing makes the bucket spill over and I did question if I should see the whole of it. But I did see the whole of it. And the depiction of the age, scenes and acting is quite good. It really is just the singing that ruins it for me. Especially combined with poetry. The poetry fits much better and it really makes the lyrics of the singing look bad. Also I may be wrong but did I hear American accents through the singing? That sound really put me off sometimes.
