Cats (2019)
Musical haters and Cats (stage) lovers probably won't like this film
I like musicals. I've never seen Cats , until this evening when I took my wife and two adult daughters to see it. All we knew was the song Memories.
I liked it. It was funny, moving and weird.
Francesca Hayward's singing and dancing was beautiful. I loved all the balletic dance. Taylor Swift can sing without an autotune and actually has a nice voice. She contributed the lyrics to one song, and it added poignancy, if any were needed, to Memories.
Idris Elba - I always thought he was a nice guy, but his performance as Macavity leads me to a rethink (joke). He can sing, he can move, and he can be creepy.
For all the other actors - know and not so well known - it was clear that they were chosen for the best to play that role.
At the time of writing, the film has an overall rating of 2.8. I suspect over the years it will gain a following. It's no Les Miserables, but it is a good film.
La pequeña Suiza (2019)
Very silly
Very funny. Especially for anyone who knows Switzerland. And/or possibly Spain.
