Notes:

This probably is not a popular opinion, but, Tom Hooper's Les Miserables (2012) fantastically exceeds expectations. Hitting the high notes combined with genuinely moving acting and excellent screenplay, the film is a heavy contender for major distinctions. Magnificently photographed, it makes you feel the post-revolution France. You might want to watch this again.

After watching this film:

You will keep On My Own playing in your mind.
