About this movie

In this eerily enchanting musical film by Melanie Martinez, Cry Baby, a strong and sensitive girl, is sent off to a disturbing sleepaway school that's hidden underneath a grandiose façade. Luckily, she has a sweet and unapologetic best friend who sticks up for her when she gets bullied by the other students whose brains are under control by the Principal and his wicked staff. With the help of the magical friends they meet along the way, as well as an Angelic Spirit Guide, they are able to gain the strength they need to fight off the school's belligerent patriarchal conditioning.

I love the movie/album. The first time it came out I watched it and immediately downloaded it. For those past weeks I've been watching it every night and I still love it every time I watch it. I love Melanie Martinezs work from the first time I watched dollhouse and she does things with a purpose, so if you don't like what she's doing then you wouldn't understand and you wouldn't know why she's doing it. So shut up if you don't like what she's doing🙌🏼

I love evrything about this movie and album. As someone who has stugled with some of the same thing in school this album really helped me deal with it. I also love how is so openly speacks out on the issues that are tangled within school systems today. I also had one of my teachers watch this movie and we started a club to suport students and try and fix the problems in our school.
