The Greatest Showman Reviews
Salon.com
Matthew Rozsa
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.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
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.
Observer
Rex Reed
To make room for all the boring songs, historic facts are all but eliminated, leaving only the bare bones of Barnum's life.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
It's a family film whose infectious, crowd-pleasing song-and-dance numbers justify a 105-minute running length when the pedestrian story can't.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
This isn't a movie musical. It's a Las Vegas revue featuring songs aiming for high rotation on a Top 40 radio station, one that will doubtlessly enthrall those moviegoers who mistake spectacle for quality.
Slate
Sam Adams
Like Barnum himself, it's an elegant fraud, nice enough to look at as long as you don't look too close.
Marie Claire
Esther Zuckerman
[This] kind of insanity is really fun to watch. The Greatest Showman is a lot of things, but it's not boring.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
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.
Village Voice
April Wolfe
The Greatest Showman is a perfunctory effort in story, music, dance, and direction that proffers empty messages about uniqueness, reaching not for the stars but for bland homogeneity.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Screenwriters Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon whitewash history at every turn, making Barnum a warm, paternal figure beloved by his sideshow performers, wife, and children.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
By the end, I found myself exhausted by the idea of wonder, not to mention the film's notion that critics - those evil, fun-hating critics - are immune to it.
Slashfilm
Karen Han
The Greatest Showman is a con artist's bauble, which is to say: it'll swindle you and it'll lie to you, but it's not without its charms.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Like a Pyongyang history book, "Showman" director Michael Gracey has polished away real events, ignoring Barnum's dark past and the seediness of his 19th-century New York.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
For sheer, go-for-broke nuttiness, The Greatest Showman stands alone in the landscape of this holiday season's crop of movies, and I urge you to give it a chance.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
It often feels like a collection of slickly produced music videos, loosely tied together with a plot we're not supposed to care too much about.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The joy the performers exhibit is practically contagious, and helps carry the movie over its drier patches.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
An unabashed piece of pure entertainment, punctuated by 11 memorable songs.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Amazingly, a virtuoso Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum, spare-no-expense production values and a score by Oscar (La La Land) and Tony (Dear Evan Hansen) winners Ben Pasek and Justin Paul add up to a shrill blast of nothing
Spectrum Culture
Kristen Lopez
The Greatest Showman will work best with musical purists, those who aren't turned off by spontaneous bursts of song and an overly sentimentalized view of history.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But as pure entertainment, Gracey's energetic effort succeeds in a way that goes well beyond anything I anticipated before entering the theatre.
