"...Eddie Redmayne’s performance is as beautiful as it is painful. Beginning the famous song
a cappella, the grief of the character is present in every breath and every nuance of his expression.
With the camera trained in an extreme close-up of his face, we see a man consumed with guilt and
beyond consolation. As the camera cuts back to a mid-shot we are offered a view of a building that
used to be a hub of excitement and the absence is choking. Marius bears his soul in this incredible
solo and as the orchestra surges and he sings “oh my friends… my friends don’t ask me what your
sacrifice was for” you will likely be in tears also." (article by Catherine Pearson)
