Emma Thompson's Trunchbull is phenomenal, it makes the "she's mad" line so much better, because she's genuinely insane throughout the entire film

[Bluelink]

Emma herself is amazing but serious shoutouts to the makeup and costuming team because she is just irrecognizable. Also the big platform boots are just *chef's kiss* a fantastic choice

[jwindsor]

emma thompson is a shapeshifter. i've only ever heard her sing in saving mr banks and she sounds like a COMPLETELY different person here. it's crazy how she can transform so well!!

[tadeponsmorat]

2:19 The face Trunchbull makes when she orders Miss Honey to sing is amazing. Also, she looks so scared when she complies. All of this is great.

[itsaidenvlogs]

The thing that really took my eye is that all the kids are so scared when the music starts they treated the song like its an anthem.

[tomarnold]

1:06 Emma's best moment. You can see her eyes recalling the glory of her victorious days. Truly a master performance!

[aricaj.]

While I don't think Emma's portrayal is as terrifying as Pam Ferris', I think it still works in its own way. Her version puts more of an emphasis on Trunchbull basically being an insecure coward who hides behind abusive and controlling behavior. It actually highlights the irony from the stage version of how she calls Miss Honey pathetic for the whole show yet she is truly the pathetic one - while Jenny is strong enough to stand up to her abuser to defend her students, Agatha by comparison is actually weak and chooses to be cruel to children because they are easy targets. Emma's Trunchbull is a great (albeit exaggerated) representation of what bullies are often actually like, insecure people who wear cruelty as a mask to make themselves feel more powerful than they truly are

[matthw]

The fact that Trunchbull had them do a whole Color Guard routine for this exact moment.

[NinaC]

THIS IS SO SO IMPRESSIVE! Entire movie is just so amazing. Wish I can see the play live now! The lyrics in all the songs are just genius - Tim Minchin take a bow!

[descalante]

I like of how the kids flags make up the circles of the Olympics. And also the confused looks of Matilda and Lavender seeing Miss. Trunchbull just walking out on the balcony and start swinging flags.

[demisketch]

One of the things I commend this movie for is how they play up how scared Miss Honey is of Trunchbull due to all the abuse she’s taken from her. She’s very much a victim too in this story and it makes the way she stands up to her even more amazing. I love origonal Honey but she seemed a little too perfect, she never felt as viscerally scared as this one does.

[thefilmwatcher]

I love the detail that Trunchbull makes all the kids participate in her musical numbers.

[MagicaMadokaUA]

As much as i love the og matilda, this new trunchbull is EPIC.

Im a huge sucker for psychological stuff, especially stuff like psychopaths and i LOVE that they gave a darker side to mrs trunchbull, making her more sinister and abusive (not saying i support abuse at all, but saying i love the darker more mental twist on her character)

[tomarnold]

Only Emma can play a villain that's so terrifying yet lovable at the same time!

[Genshinzyciem]

She is SUCH A GREAT ACTOR. I love the way she speaks. Like a true scary principal.

[niksspace]

I can’t express how much I absolutely love this song
it’s crazy seeing the small glimpses of happiness in her

[pedrohermes]

2:36 I love Matilda and Lavender's face, they must be thinking "the bloody hell is going on in this place???" XD

[erwin]

Now this is hilarious, specially on 1:35 where Ms. Honey is like "wt-actual-f is going on!!??" Just in general, Emma Thompson had me rolling on the floor.

[owenlewis]

The fact that the kids performed so well means this isn’t the first time she’s done this

[CanYouHackett]

Emma Thompson really just steals the show in whatever she’s in. She was phenomenal in Cruella and I really enjoyed her as Trunchbull in this. She does an amazing job at showing how completely mad Trunchbull is.
