Its definitely magical. Though it is not my taste whatsoever, after the first 20 minutes I was very much interested in it. The role of Grizabella brought tears to my eyes.... the suttle story of her being an outcast from her earlier life choices to the redemption of her character simply from what could be called the " soul of grizzabella" portrayed on the screen, is absolutely amazing.... it is worth the watch.... i work in the oil fields.... and again I say to you all who might read this brought multiple tears to my eyes.... Tom Hooper may not have appeased many of the real and internet critics...but it is beautiful in its own unique right.
