A truly WONDERFUL movie, beautifully filmed. Having read the brilliant book many moons ago, and seen the first movie made of it, which was very different and very good too, I wanted to see this latest iteration. I didn't know it was a musical, which is just as well as I may not have made the effort to see it on its last showing here, but it was SO well choreographed, and I really enjoyed the songs & voices & the dances. It was empowering (for women), joyful, moving, and although it was a bit god-y for me at the end it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of this fabulous film. And it was great to see Whoopi Goldberg again even though it was such a brief appearance. Do yourself a favour and see this enriching treat of a film.
