I was SO looking forward to going to see Judy. And it’s lovely to see Renee Zellweger looking herself after “that” plastic surgery (possibly).
RZ singing was awesome, it was all very glossy and I even shed a tear. So I’m not sure why I left the cinema slightly disappointed in the whole thing.
Basically the story is the end of Judy Garlands life when she was a pill popping soak who couldn’t get a job and the 5 days she performed at The Talk of the Town, London..
I don’t know if it was because it seemed to end quite suddenly or what. However, I did enjoy it enough to want to watch it again, if only for RZ performance which was outstanding.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Cats (2019) in Movies

Here's where I wrinkle my nose up at the Smashbomb scoring system - Cats isn't so much 'shoddy' as - well, it's such a particularly strange film that it's actually quite hard to tell whether it's any good or not. My instinct is to say not: a selection of character actors, comedians and musical theatre stars are CGI'd into human-animal hybrids like something out of The Island of Dr Moreau and hoof and yowl their way through a selection of TS Eliot's comic poems set to music. The plot does a good impression of being absolute gibberish, as the singing cat-people compete to get sent off to the bit of the sky that radio waves bounce off where they will receive a new life, while Idris Elba schemes to rig the contest. It's just weird.
Alternatively, this is a quasi-Lovecraftian surreal Arabesque which, fatally, fails to consider the difference between presentational and representational performance modes inherent in the transference of a narrative between theatrical and cinematic contexts. (i.e., people dressed as singing cats in a theatre can be beautiful and moving; people CGI'd into singing cats in a big-budget movie is more disturbing than anything else.) Jennifer Hudson's maximum-Streep, maximum-volume onslaught on 'Memory' made me want to hide under my seat.

a dark and brooding masterpiece
when i first heard sowing season i knew i had stumbled upon something special, such a restrained piece of music with melancholy singing into these punk/indie esq guitars, it was unlike anything i heard at the time, not to say the rest of the devil and god follow this laid out path, but it's a very restrained piece of music, only letting it's restraint go at certain points for the ultimate moment or chorus, the masterpiece of this album has to go to limousine, it starts off slow with soft singing and acoustic guitars until the vocals and guitars kick in, after that it slows down again, letting the soft and passionate singing take centre to then build up to this brooding and beautiful catharsis that when it peaks is some of my favourite music ive ever heard, both conceptually and in practise, i encourage anyone who sees this to listen to the devil and god, it's a brooding masterpiece that surely won't disappoint

Review on behalf of my 5yo
My 5yo daughter absolutely adores this film. She loves the characters, the singing and dancing. This is one of her go-to movies when she's feeling poorly. The plot is nice and easy to follow for young ones. Has a lovely feel good factor about it.
Well worth a watch just for the music.
