After reading my rather raving review of this Rob Marshall-directed adaptation of the Steven Sondheim musical, I was surprised to look at Letterboxd and see that so many of the people I follow hate this film.
The problem seems to stem from the fact that the film severely changes a big chunk of the second act, making it much more Disney-friendly than the stage version. I’ve never seen it live, so I guess I wasn’t bothered by any changes.
While I did seem to have enjoyed it, it is worth noting I’ve never bothered to watch it again. Take that for what you will.
