A film full of emotions that transports you through all those sensitive fibers with which we count as a spectator. It is a pleasant surprise, what it means to be the new version of Matilda for Netflix from Sony. A cast that further highlights the good work that the film had already had. I cannot leave aside the correct work that the rest of the children's cast does and seeing Lashana Lynch sing is priceless, in the same way I cannot leave aside the entertaining step of Andrea Riseborough and Stephen Graham as Matilda's parents. Undoubtedly the greatest charm that we find is seeing Alisha Weir be the skin of Matilda The acting charisma with which the little actress dazzles on the screen makes us excited about a promising one and that is that she comes face to face with all the poise of an Emma Thompson and both only make the screen shine with magic when we have them sharing the scene. From the greatness of Emma Thompson to the promise of Alisha Weir. The perfect compensation so that we end up more than satisfied with what we are seeing. That good performance of all of the above mentioned makes us forget about the weak points that the film may have. That combination elevates to a point of maximum enjoyment of everything we are seeing on the screen and to a large extent hypnotized by the photography provided by Tat Radcliffe that intensifies all that greatness that this new version of Matilda supposes that at no time forgets that theatrical blood of which is fed. With perfect musical segments in choreography and dance and the darkness in moments of feeling that you are in a subtle world of Stephen King.

The cunning with which the director takes Kelly's splendid script to images, allows us to have a first-cut cinematographic experience when watching it. It is a film that enchants from the beginning, but that does not hesitate to take us into darkness, authentically capturing that purest essence of the novel and for that the visual spectacle is totally marvelous that makes us be glued to the screen and simply enter in the musical and lyrical harmony of Tim Minchin that puts the most recent Netflix premiere at our feet. The script that Dennis Kelly writes simply shines with mastery to deliver us a movie that completely fills our emotions and sensations. Today it is the turn of Matthew Warchus to take over and deliver us a perfect successor to the 1996 film with a sublime musical of the popular Roald Dahl novel. It's been 26 years since the premiere of Matilda, the iconic film of the nineties and cleverly directed by the great Danny DeVito.
