Review: (#1, C) A very weak teaser design. The green background looks fitting and the sisterhood vibes work well but if you look at their pose, the shadow that’s cast isn’t even remotely accurate. A failure. (#2, A) On the other hand, you have this visually striking, thematically fitting, character-appropriate effort that blends brilliantly and captures the essence of the film entirely.

Trailer Rating: A / C+

Review: (#1, A) So many musical films avoid their musical content like the plague and it’s always been puzzling. This exemplifies why you should use it. There’s no doubt this is a musical and fans of the stage version are certainly likely to take note. Anyone familiar with it is also able to pick up key moments that stand out. It likewise builds in intensity to a conclusion that feels utterly fitting. Drawing out emotion for fans of the show is the perfect way to make the production a hit.

(#2, C+) It’s amazing how a truncated “teaser” can feel less exciting or intriguing as a full trailer. It seems the creator didn’t understand the assignment, especially not of selling a musical.

Oscar Prospects:

Visually stunning, this film will most certainly be a frontrunner for several craft categories. Strong reviews will be necessary to contend outside of the craft areas.
