The Prom is the latest offering on Netflix from Ryan Murphy. It follows Ratched as well as the very average Netflix film The Boys in the Band.
The Prom got a small cinema release in Australia as well as playing a few outdoor cinema venues.
Adapted to the screen from Matthew Sklar's 2018 Broadway musical of the same name, starring an all star cast. Lead by Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Keegan-Michael Key, Andrew Rannells, Ariana DeBose, Kerry Washington, and introducing Jo Ellen Pellman as Emma Nolan.
The Prom commenced streaming on Netflix on December 11, 2020, so I gave this a minute before starting it. However I was pleasantly surprised, unlike some of the critics.
I still don't know how I feel about Netflix made movies. The movies in Australia is in real trouble. Like serious trouble. If you care about experiencing movies on the big screen, support independent cinemas HERE.
The Prom tackles some big issues, has some fabulous musical numbers and really showcases a different side of Nicole Kidman and Kerry Washington. This was fun and easy viewing. 3 Stars.
