matilda the musical was beautiful in a way that was so personal. a neurodivergent kid going through horrible abuse reaches out to her teacher who grew up abused and is still subjected to that abuse daily. one teaches the other how to stand up against injustice, the other shows her how to accept and show affection. all set to tim minchin's genius songs. emma thompson yells about having a newt in her knickers. it's a cinematic masterpiece.
