Spoiler alert! It’s almost impossible to review new musical, The Last Five Years, without at least one and that’s because you know the end of the story right from the very start.
But, as long as you can handle that, you’re in for an unashamedly romantic hour and a half, with lots of songs and very little in the way of dialogue. Will it tug at your heart strings? London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, finds out.

Introducing the romantic leading man for this spring. Matthias Schoenaerts. If the name doesn’t jangle any bells, you may have seen the Belgian actor last month as a musical German officer in World War II romance, Suite Francaise. He’s back again next month as one of Carey Mulligan’s suitors in the re-make of Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd. As of this week, however, he’s a royal gardener at the court of Louis XIV and the woman in his sights is Kate Winslet. The film is Alan Rickman’s A Little Chaos, which opens on Friday, certificate 12A.
It’s a film, and a role, miles away from his usual territory – a drug addict in Bullhead (2011), ex-boxer in Rust And Bone (2012) and the manipulative local thug in The Drop (2014). So does he have what it takes to be a heart throb? And is there more to A Little Chaos than just beautiful flowers? London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, puts on her gardening gloves …..
