The latest version of the classic "Cyrano de Bergerac" directed by Joe Wright and starring a splendid Peter Dinklage was a charming and musically impeccable reinterpretation.
With his adaptation of the hit stage musical, Wright was able to update the story while retaining its sentimentality. And the cast exudes talent and chemistry in every number.
Dinklage brings his usual grace to a Cyrano with a heart-stealing complex. And Haley Bennett is smitten with her sweet Roxanne. Together they shine in both comedy and drama.

Benjamin Cavell's signature imaginative lyrics and songs give soul to this story of unrequited love. And Seamus McGarvey's photography accompanies its delicacy.
With its baroque aesthetic and its message of inner beauty, it's just the refreshing musical we needed. An invitation to dream, laugh and sigh.
I watched it several times on cinema screens and I would watch it again as many times as it takes.

In that amazing alchemy between classic and popular clamour lies its greatest success. A jewel that will endure.
This movie for me is one the the greatest love stories ever told.
The ending got me hucked, like did he die? Ok I'm crying. I didn't want that but well it happened.
This movie was soooo great. I could see how much he truly loved her and down to writing to her throw someone even having to speak to her but in set to helping someone else (Oh my Goddddd, his voice was so lovely that I fall for him myself). It was so emotional I won't lie.
It is a film that in all its versions is shocking, this one reminded me of Jesus Christ Superstar, filmed in a theatrical setting.
