Demons and Hair Cuts: A Movie Review of “Sweeney Todd”
As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.

Mia is a young girl with a knack for getting herself into trouble. One night, when her mother falls asleep while reading "Thumbelina" to her, Mia is magically transformed into the two-inch tall character. As she journey's through "the Unknown Country of Wonderland," Mia will be forced to overcome obstacles that help her grow as a person.

While the director didn't set out to make a feminist film, "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" reads as a reclamation of female power in a patriarchal society.
In the film adaptation, director Jon M. Chu turns each musical number into a massive show stopper, with grand set pieces and a wealth of diverse dancers. Yet, in this attempt to show reverence for the people of the Washington Heights barrio, Chu, or maybe more specifically those in charge of casting, left out a crucial part of the community, Afro-Latinos.
We, the Jane Austen aficionados, are suckers for everything and anything under the sun that’s remotely related to her and her world. That’s because we are so drawn to her unique style of fiction, romance, and social commentary, we take any allusion to her influence as a hint to what to expect when we start watching a movie or reading a book.
In 'Maestro,' we're left with an impression but not with an understanding of the main character.
So do I recommend that people see this movie, yes 100%, but do I think they are going to come out of it with 80 hot takes, yes 100%.
