Is it true "By the Sea" is the best scene in the film? That's what I've heard thus far! Super excited for every scene Alan Rickman is in too!

"By the Sea" was great because in film, you are not limited to the stage. This was where HBC SHINED her a$$ off. That, and the "No One's Going to Harm You" number, which was sublime. She really is such a talented actress. Her singing was good, but not like Lupone (then again, who is? ) My only big complaint was the make and clothes on JD and HBC were almost also rans in that they are dressed like that and in the same kind of make up in most movies, to wit: Edward S., Harry Potter, etc.
And now, for Patti (in a better and higher key than in the Broadway show --
Here she is on Broadway (
Tony Award Nominee 
)
Here is HBC (audio only) -- she does well, but mind you this is HEAVILY produced and not live - good though and kudos to her! IMO, she has a little Julie Andrews in her voice (just a little mind you)
