I’m watching this right now and I love it! It seems to reflect more on the child abuse and coping mechanisms Matilda uses. It’s a bit more sad as a result, but in a way that connects you more personally to her and give the vengeance and victory more satisfaction. I love the phys ed scene where Matilda is staring down Trunchbull and the storm is building (“Quiet”). I adore the previous movie version (it has more comedic tones IMO) but this is a worthy interpretation.

Oh and now I’m watching Miss Honey sing “My House” and I guess this is where I cry.

That is my secret wedding song to whoever I marry. Or... pretend to marry. Cause the world knows I probably won't
