  Encanto 2021

  ★½ Watched 25 Dec 2021

  The music in this movie is probably the worst in Lin Manuel’s entire discography. Mirabel seems to have no real resolution, as the film treats inter-generational trauma as just a plot device, so the movie ends with a “sorry you have no gift, we still love you” cop out after they magically restore everything EXCEPT her gift (which she never got) 

  
  I guess Mirabel’s power is being the glue that holds the family together. Toxic.

  Also, if Mirabels mom has the gift of healing any ailment, why does Mirabel still need glasses?
