Les Misérables

The feels... My, the film was extraordinary! I had high hopes for it, but it genuinely surprised me.

 

The musical I watched 4 years ago was fantastic due to the vocal performances, and I have yet to hear a better cast. The softer vocals and emotional power of the movie do not make for a grade A musical, but they sure make a grade A film. Really, I can't pick a favorite performance, as the feelings the music influenced cannot be described. Every word, every note, was captured live in the moment with raw, trembling emotion.. There was a new sort of fragility to the pieces, a closeness to the character's mind, providing the audience with an ache of the soul.
