One of Washington Post reviewers most anticipated holiday movies: Merrily we roll a bomb

Michael O'Sullivan reports:

Perhaps you’ve heard about a movie, still in production, based on the stage musical “Merrily We Roll Along”? Richard Linklater is directing, and the story — which plays out in reverse chronology over the course of 20 years — will be filmed, like Linklater’s groundbreaking “Boyhood,” in real time. This is not that movie. Rather, while you wait for Linklater to finish, sate yourself with a filmed version of the hit New York revival of Stephen Sondheim’s musical about the vicissitudes of life undergone by three friends. After transferring from off-Broadway to Broadway, the production won four Tonys, including one each for Radcliffe and Groff.

The few people who have seen this movie seem to like it.
