The Greatest Showman tries hard to dazzle the audience with a Barnum-style sense of wonder -- but at the expense of its complex subject's far more intriguing real-life story.

Like Barnum himself, it's an elegant fraud, nice enough to look at as long as you don't look too close. December 4, 2018 | Full Review…

... [Hugh Jackman's] feel-good new film, The Greatest Showman, is where he truly gets to unleash his inner trouper, and he barely stops singing, dancing and flicking around a top hat from beginning to end. December 28, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The director, Michael Gracey, delivers quick doses of excitement in splashy scenes but has little feel for the choreographic action, offers scant historical substance, and displays slender dramatic insight. December 26, 2017 | Full Review…

This isn't the story of Barnum's life, but a formulaic rags-to-riches story grafted onto the broad outlines of Barnum's career as a circus entrepreneur. December 23, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Historians now agree that Barnum wasn't the one who said "There's a sucker born every minute," but it's hard to escape the feeling that you're being sold a poptimist bill of goods here. December 22, 2017 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

For all its cheeriness, brio and strong cast, this is a phoney baloney film with heartstring-tweaking, soul-stirring ambitions it is, by a laughable margin, too transparently manipulative to realise. December 22, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It won't be classified as the best movie in the world (or musical for that matter) but it is easy to see why the appeal for the film has been infectious and unanimous. August 26, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
