Alisha was WONDERFUL as Matilda. I basically sobbed from beginning to end.

[@frantisekkoudelkahater9494]

What about the 1996 film Matilda. It wasn't bad either.. Have you already seen the movie in the cinema??

[@marsixii]

@@frantisekkoudelkahater9494 they both tell the story differently which is perfect, the movie is based on the stage adaption of matilda the musical. the musical doesnt take away from the og movie at all and i think its absolutely brilliant

[@REMEMBERIMJUSTAGIRL]

​@@frantisekkoudelkahater9494 watching tomorrow!

[@startsmart1995]

Did you watch the movie on cinema?

[@REMEMBERIMJUSTAGIRL]

[@KayleighTheBacon]

Alisha is so captivating to watch. She draws you in, which makes her a phenomenal actress/singer, can see her doing amazing things in the future

[@BrawlerGod1]

0:04 Alishas HELLO is so cute!!

[@tattooedandy93]

The musical movie was like I was watching an animated version of Roald Dahl’s classic movie. The character design of the parents, Miss Trunchbull, Matilda and Miss Honey was like something of a Disney movie. Absolutely brilliant. Brilliant movie.

[@aiden_3857]

I’m not gonna lie, Alisha deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for playing Matilda! UPDATE: She didn’t get nominated.

[@ariaiscool101]

Well she was pretty spectacular and the movie was absolutely awesome but don’t forget the person who played her in 1996

[@aiden_3857]

@@ariaiscool101 ah yes, Mara Wilson!

[@Mr09DJ]

@@ariaiscool101 Yes Alisha done a fantastic job, as I first seen her on RTE TOY Show🎅 Did Mara give it all up now, as i was watching the original airing of Miracle of 34th St (1947) which is rarely on tv & was on Film4! As it had another Irish person that I knew had in Maureen o Hara, but was pleasantly surprised when I found out that the little child was actually Natalie Wood🤫

Matilda back where it always should have being set... Britain

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

Prolly one of the best things I've seen all year.

[@davidnash8586]

I've seen the film twice now, both times with my nine year old grandson and we both think that it is the most wonderful film in every way ! It was as if the very best actors in the world were brought together to perform under the supervision of the best Director in the world using the best script in the world whilst performing the best songs and choreography in the world ! It was simply perfect and I can't wait to see it again ! Alisha, along with ALL the cast members, was fantastically fabulous !

[@allenfowler1886]

I really like the fact that she listens. Every costar she has a interview with, she absorbs their experience and wisdom.

[@johnboylan6689]

As a fellow dubliner I am so proud of her the movie is amazing and as matilda Alisha is just amazing .

[@AJAUSISNSISJS]

I’m so happy she got the part I went to go see this movie today and it’s actually really good, Definitely way better than I thought it was going to be!

[@malcolmjohnston7873]

Brilliant dancers, and brilliant choreography!

[@mjw12345]

Alisha is great in Matilda - but she's a total joy as well just in interviews. Surreal - I was so dumb when I was her age I'd have made an ass of myself. Another item I've noticed - she diverts questions about her own role to saying how great everyone else was.

[@carlco3378]

I ❤ this Matilda version very much. It was really touching and the best : an Irish actress had the main role 😊🍀 (Ireland - Fan). Alisha is adorable ❤

Alisha is so adorable. It's true what they say. Talent comes in all shapes and sizes. And ages! 😄 I watched this film a couple of weeks ago. And while there are a few things that I felt could have been more like the book, I loved it. At least it's in the right country. Unlike the 1996 adaption where the characters are American rather than British.

[@ariannaskolnick2387]

This one is based on the musical from broadway and westend

[@JoshHutchersonOfficial]

The ‘original’ film is Americanised and inaccurate, Matilda is based on the book, which is British.

[@goldenclaw_]

It's not a remake so why you say "the original"? They're two different movies.

[@NinaC]

Lol have you even watched THIS version though?

[@ticketyboo2456]

Samirah.R The "original" was spoilt by that troll playing Matilda tbh. This one is more authentic with no yank accents.

[@calvthejoker9986]

Tim Burton should of directed this film

[@awakawiateazrutyialocinadn5207]

Just look at Andrea Riseborough on the video there, she looks kinda like Eva Green since the latter appeared mainly in Burton's movies - Riseborough and Green could make a great cooperation but Riseborough looks like a Finnish lady with British beauty standards and as well as an accent. (Given Riseborough's experience in indie films/movies means she could be in a Finland production that could be accepted to Sundance, Tribeca, Toronto, Venice, Cannes, Katlovy Vary, etc plus Finnish women are gorgeous though.)
