Hairspray (2007)
Movie
Released
Huge musical numbers and a wonderfully game ensemble turn the screen into a burst of colour and movement. Tracy's appetite for dancing becomes an appetite for making space for other people too. The racism at its centre is real, but its inclusive energy and exuberant performances offer a particularly lively kind of lift.
