The Greatest Showman: Film Review
Written by Rohan Angus – Student Writer Though I am not one who often boasts the brilliance of a musical, ‘The Greatest Showman’ immediately cemented itself within my personal ‘Hall of Film Fame’ due to its emphatic soundtrack as well as the incomparable choreography, yet one of the greatest productions of 2017 is not without its flaws.
