matilda is a great story. the musical and movie have two different takes and having seen them both, the book was adapted well in both. anything one film skipped out on the other brought in. my one thing i wish both did more of was showcasing how disobedient most of the other kids were. hortensia was a menace and nigel was very short with trunchbull that first lesson.
also yeah i cannot believe this all happened within the span of a week, specifically matilda’s first week of school ever. overall very good!
