Critics Sentiment
The circus performers unite to sing This Is Me anthem
Jenny Lind kisses Barnum creating a press scandal
The film peaks with the empowering This Is Me anthem then drops significantly during the Jenny Lind scandal subplot.
The Greatest Showman succeeds primarily through its spectacular musical numbers, with critics consistently praising the songs, choreography, and Hugh Jackman's charismatic performance. While reviewers noted significant flaws in the superficial storytelling and character development, the infectious energy and feel-good nature of the musical sequences carried the film to broad audience appeal.
