I only giving it 8 stars because I acutely feel the same as Cyrano, and his story resonated with me too accurately: here I am 33 years old, and I have a crush, but my looks are bad, and I know he doesn't like me back - so I'm loving him from afar, and my pride is keeping me to tell him my feelings. I don't think this will change - it keeps me safe and hurting at the same time.
Anyway, I've waited for this movie for a long, long time ever since I saw the trailer. This was my most hyped movie of the year, and while I loved it, I saw its faults: the emotions weren't as deeply portrayed as they should have been, they were mostly superficial (especially with Christian); the pacing felt too fast at times, and I really missed those romantic lines Roxanne and Cyrano exchanged in their letters. But apart from this, I think this was a good romantic musical, the music was superb (you can not go wrong with the Nationals), the actors great, the story in itself was just awesome. I especially liked the way Cyrano spoke, his rhythm, it was a good point.
I know there's a movie with Gérard Depardieu who played Cyrano in the french version, and I know a lot of people adore that version, but I think this was good too - probably mainly for the younger generation, this can act as a gate between the original story and modern era.
So all in all I liked Cyrano, I loved Peter Dinklage and everybody else (Ben Mendelsohn was just awesome!), and I loved the story, the dancing, the clothes, the style, everything. The ending was especially rewarding and satisfying, it suited the whole movie, and it was somewhat realistic - and for that alone this movie deserves a high praise.

Loved it!

Films like 'Cyrano' are not usually my cup of tea, what with the spontaneous singing, dancing et al. but Joe Wright & Co. do it in a way that is simply a pleasure to watch. The whole thing looks splendid, from the sets to the costumes. The musical numbers, meanwhile, are consistently great throughout.

The cast are excellent. Peter Dinklage is my guy, like everyone I found his performances as Tyrion in 'Game of Thrones' (my favourite character, easily, from that show) to be sensational and have since wanted to support and see his future work - and he didn't let me down here! Haley Bennett and Kelvin Harrison Jr. are very good also, with them both putting in emotive displays. Ben Mendelsohn, although in a smaller role, is memorable too.

This was the first time that I was all alone in the cinema to watch a film, which - as pleasurable as that is for me personally - is hopefully not a bad sign for this 2021 release as it deserves a positive box office taking. With that said, I have since read that the film's official UK release date is tomorrow... so perhaps (hopefully) that is why.

I will say the ending isn't as strong as the rest, though that's me nit-picking as I still thoroughly enjoyed the conclusion - and the rest of the production, for that matter.

**Beautiful Piece of Art; Cyrano**

Just how was Cyrano not a blockbusters hit movie?
A classic work of art with one of the most beautiful dialogues, costume, songs and apt acting.
I Love This Movie!!!
