Loved this. A great story told with just the right mixture of pathos, honesty and mischief. The central conceit using a chimp is a masterstroke. Even Gary Barlow is forgiven
Two superb performances. A Sideways style character comedy becomes a quiet meditation on the holocaust and finally a melancholy view of loneliness.
Chekovian narrative arc of inevitable tragedy yet maintaining almost unbearable tension throughout. Superbly crafted, shot and scored. Some slightly less convincing moments (especially the central marriage) didn’t work as well but that’s nitpicking
Lived up to the original - epic redemption storytelling at its very best. Paul Mescal is excellent as Simba
