I just saw this last night and it was probably the single best cinematic experience I have ever been privileged to view.
I cannot even put into words how moved, touched and overwhelmed by this film. I didn't really know anything about the story going into it so I was able to watch it without any preconceived ideas. I knew the song, "I Dreamed a Dream" but not in context with the story, so to hear it in that setting was amazing. Also, I have to point out the cinematography was so vivid and beautiful - a true piece of art.
I thought everyone did an outstanding job in their roles and the singing was also fantastic - even if not totally perfect at times - it was so heartfelt in character that it is easily overlooked in favor of the scene(s).
This movie should win all kinds of awards.
