Editor’s note: Our short take on Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical (2022): A confident blend of Family, Comedy, Fantasy, focused more on tone than spectacle. Under Matthew Warchus’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Standout turns from Alisha Weir, Emma Thompson, Lashana Lynch keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. At 1h 57m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is decent overall; not a game-changer, but hardly disposable. Its tagline — “Meet the exception to the rules.” — actually reflects the film’s intent. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
