Matilda: The Musical
ComedyDramaFamilyFantasyMusical117 min
Matilda Wormwood is a brilliant girl with a vivid imagination, a miserable home life, and a startling new ability she can’t ignore. Alisha Weir is Matilda, pushing back against the adults who dismiss and mistreat her as she arrives at Crunchem Hall, where Emma Thompson’s Miss Trunchbull rules the school through fear and punishment. Adapted from the stage musical, the film follows Matilda as she begins standing up for herself and others, with classroom rebellion, fantasy set pieces, and telekinesis woven into her fight to change the story being written for her.
