I literally just finished streaming it... it was a pure delight. An exquisitely-directed (by Julie Taymor) tale of an iconic figure and those around her who had profound influence.
Kudos must also be given to Alicia Vikander, Janelle Monáe, Julianne Moore, Bette Midler, Timothy Hutton, Lorraine Toussaint and Kimberly Guerrero.
Anyone interested in the history of equality (and its long pursuit... especially in recent years) should make sure to see this one. It's a relay race! Every triumph is built upon a previous triumph.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone in the U.S. and happy #MakeSolo2Happen Day to everyone in the world!
I'll start by saying that I generally love Andrew Lloyd Webber's music and stage musicals. Oddly, though, live productions of CATS never appealed to me that much. But this cinematic interpretation hit the exact right note for me.
If you're going in expected a heavy plot, you'll be disappointed. The tale is simple... about as simple as it gets... a group of felines singing of their personalities and lives.
Of course, there is a meta allegory... about how people (particularly theatre performers) are of a specific ilk... which tends to range from playful to naughty to capricious to otherworldly... just like that of felines.
So, if you appreciate poetry and ballet... and you have a particular fondness for kitties (from the house tabby to a lion)... you might just love Tom Hooper's version of CATS... which, for me, elevated the stage material to something that can only be done in movies... as well as in ones own heart.
