The choreographer deserves so many awards its not even funny. It was all so perfectly done.

200 kids wow! This film was done with heart and it truly shows.

[ankiza.m]

Watched the movie 3 days ago and honestly the entire time I was thinking how much work it took to choreograph it these kids are extremely talented

[Real_DaviT]

What a PERFECT movie, I wish all the people who hate it without reason or without having watched it, know that this is not an adaptation of the 96 movie

[jaredgraves]

I watch Matilda the musical so many times and the kids were talented and this is the best musical I watched this year

Director: "we need 200 kids who just SLAY"

Matilda cast: "hold our juice boxes"

I LOVED this adaptation, as someone who grew up reading the book first, i feel like the movie perfectly captured the quirkiness and fantasy of the story. The era is kinda vague, the mom and dad are no good, the Chalk writes on the chalkboard. All the proper things happen but we get new fun things, like a mobile librarian who is a friend of Matilda's. Or scenes that show us inside of M's imagination. Imagine if she got to be friends with Anne Shirley-Cuthbert. They'd write the next great novel in 24 hours

One of the most enjoyable movies I've ever watched! The kids dancing and Emma's acting are extraordinary!

[BrennySpain]

Watched the movie last night. It truly was amazing overall! Emma Thompson as the new trunchball was definitely a standout!

[manuelorozco]

The dancing brought a sense of high energy to the storytelling. Matilda is another winner from Netflix

[neodownunder]

Watched it three times already and now I’m in YouTube watching bts on how this amazing film is made. Just perfection 😅

[marepalette]

I’m surprised how people don’t know that there is an actual Matilda musical and that this is not an adaptation from the 1996 movie. Like- that’s why it’s different

[haikz]

watched it without thinking much but every music scene stunned me in the best way possible! the energy is amazing the cinematography is amazing the choreo is AMAZING

[penguinista]

My jaw is on the floor at the performance of those kids. The amount of work required to get the dances to that point is already stunning, but the energy they put into the performances is hard to get my mind around. They must have had an amazing culture on the set. Truly a joy to watch.

[erinforster]

I would have been screaming praise and clapping like a mad man for them at the end of every single take. I cannot imagine! I have watched the movie four times in three days because I love the choreo most of all! It's an absolute master piece.

[baitedlol]

Every single one of them dance 10x better than I ever could

[FlixKnacks]

Matilda the Musical is just a masterpiece! The songs, the dances, the story, everything is a roller coaster of emotions!

[SonjaDawn]

The children were phenomenal! So were Emma Thompson and the teacher, she had a beautiful singing voice.

[KingdeKai]
