I’m so tardy! I didn’t report on Waitress! It was good, and I’ll definitely watch it again when it’s released to home video.
I’ve never seen the original movie, so I must make a point of ketchuping with that sometime. I liked the production and Sara Bareilles and the others just fine.
I’ll just offer up my standard complaint that there are FAR TOO FEW times that we get to see the stage as it looked to, you know, the damned audience. It’s BK’s geography thing. Granted, the camera work is excellent in this, otherwise. But there are long stretches when we’re swimming in close-ups and medium shots, and I so long for a breath of air that’s longer than the occasional split second views of the entire stage.
