Les Miserables
I expected to like this film. But it plays to all that I don't like in musicals. It's just wall-to-wall musical numbers.
It's well-done, but left me cold. It was hard to get into the songs. A few held my attention for a line or two. I liked the revolutionary songs the best.
The fault is not in the story. I loved the Frederic March/Charles Laughton film from 1935.
This film was nominated and won many awards, so obviously my opinion is in the minority. But overall, I am disappointed in this Netflix choice.
