My review · Reviewed 08/24/2019

I came into this movie not being a fan of Hollywood movies and being somewhat skeptical about movies based on real-life events. I don't know how true this was to the actual events but I loved everything else about the film. The leads were excellent and the film had the feel of a musical without going to far IMHO. I really enjoyed it.
