You see how much good Lin-Manuel Miranda can do when he’s not in front of the camera?

This was one of the first musicals that i have deeply appreciated since i am old enough to watch it and deeply appreciated beautiful work of lin manuel miranda and every since I have followed and watched his work, the uniqueness of his music is so distinctively him when the singers would sing on top of one another, and thats how you know it was written by him, like an artist who writes their names at the bottom of their…

Jonathan Larson died thinking he failed as a artist and his biggest fear of dying to young coming true

Lin-Manuel Miranda should stick to Broadway

Goddamn. I watched this blindly without knowing anything. I didn’t know it was a autobiography of Jonathan Larson. And man, he was someone who could push away the people he loves (accidentally) just to achieve what he’s been longing for so long; which is not hard to believe if ambition eats you alive. Lin-Manual Miranda being the one who directed this was really cool, just like Hamilton, writing songs and stories about the forgotten people who deserved to be heard.…

Omg This was recommended by Ridge with a bunch of other musicals and I think I’m trusting Ridges every recommendation after this , truly beautiful , brilliant idk what else to say I’m speechless ! , If you know me you’d know that i rarely watch musicals and when i do I don’t enjoy them that much ( don’t get me wrong I love music but musicals not very much) but this changed my perspective The only note I have is that it could’ve been a little bit shorter, Tony’s performance is just perfection I’m definitely rewatching this soon

“El musical hecho para gente que no le gustan los musicales” Yeah, bueno, se van a cagar. Me gustan los musicales y también me gusta esta película. De todas formas, musical o no, este es un peliculón. No estamos hablando de una adaptación 100% accurate de la obra Tick Tick Boom de Larson. Estamos hablando de una obra cinematográfica por encima de todo, cargada de sentimientos, con escenas perfectamente armadas, actuadas y musicalizadas. Más allá del artista que se quiere…

Blessed my ears. Such an incredible look at Jonathan Larson’s life it made me so emotional several times. The story beats play out super well and the story flows together masterfully. Garfield is a savant and never fails to impress me.

muzikalleri cok severim ve bu filmin muzikal aspectine de bayildim. sarkilar guzeldi ve anlamliydi. filmin konusuna da bayildim. adamin kendi hayati hakkinda bir muzikal vermesi konseptinde cok guzeldi surekli arada gidip gelmesi. bu bastaki ve sondaki belgesel sekanslari da guzeldi. andrew garfield sahane bir aktorluk sergilemis. sesinin bu kadar guzel oldugunu bilmiyordum tbh. fakat filmin sonu cok acele ettirilmisti. hani anliyorum bi belgesel sonucta ama bir haftayi 2 saatte izlerken bes yili otuz saniyede ozetlemek olmamis. hani sunu yapti bunu…

Andrew Garfield is great here and Lin Manuel Miranda does a good job with the direction. But that doesn’t stop the main character from being obnoxious. The movie wants us to believe he was this visionary writer but doesn’t really give us any reason for this other than he can write songs easily. There is some emotional weight to the scenes that hit hard but some of the music numbers are indulgent and go on for too long.

Andrew Garfield and André De Shields in the same movie ?? literally like two of the coolest actors ever

“The show is about to begin.” “The room is completely empty.” “The show is about to begin, and I am looking at 60 empty, folding chairs” This is what I imagine life is like for people who pursue theater arts. But more than that I come back to this film time and time again for the great musical numbers, and to remind myself not to get caught up in how fast paced life can be. Jonathan Larson respresents one of…

it was like fine as a movie i just didnt enjoy the plot and it was mildly hard to follow at times some of the songs were boring or generic didnt like mc At All

why are the musical movies are always make me cry???? some of the songs are kinda cringe especially in the first half of the movie. it’s like serious tones but unserious lyrics. me watching it for the musical just for sobbing in the end. omg when they show the clips of them in school is just make me even crying more
-
S
I mean it’s fine, the direction is pretty lacklustre, songs are occasionally decent and catchy. Alex Shipp was the clear standout

That diner number gave me the same feeling as seeing all the superhero’s team up in endgame. Love revisiting this film, always forget how great it is. Only two negatives, wish they included green green dress and their where times where that green screen was not it

I think the “boom” moment couldve been way more dramatic and striking considering the fact that we waited for that “boom” for almost 2 hours. The ending just didnt do it for me. Just proved myself i still dont like musicals at all.

que locura de película, es increíble que sea de hace 5 años y me haya enterado que existe porque me salió Therapy en recomendados de yt cuando busqué Love Is de triangle javdkwbd, me llamó la atención la canción y que sea Andrew. La actuación y la voz de Andrew son increíbles, en ningún momento lo hubiera imaginado cantando de esa manera. Su voz y la de todos son hermosas, las canciones son una maravilla, la historia es cruda y me volvió loco. Aguanten los musicales, corta la boch

Una obra muy artística, cuenta la vida de alguien real que no conocía pero es bastante interesante. Los musicales siempre se me han hecho muy melosos entonces no me gustó mucho esa parte pero entiendo por qué está ahí y es algo entretenido de ver. La actuación de Andrew fue muy buena, la película me encanta como habla de sentir que uno va a destiempo profundo para hacer algo grande, como es el proceso creativo de un artista y que pasa por su cabeza. También como tocan el tema de todo verlo como arte, experiencias, etc y aunque lo intentes no puedes salir de allí.

La primera vez que la vi no sentí lo mismo. No sé si es por el momento vital que estoy atravesando, la edad o lo que sea, pero esta vez me ha llegado directo al corazón. He conectado a un nivel muy profundo con Larson, he sentido una empatía y una identificación hacia él fuera de lo común. Además, vi Rent hace apenas unas semanas y ha sido inevitable encontrar los paralelismos entre la obra y su vida, me quedo…

It’s a good Garfield performance but I couldn’t get into this one, which is strange because I feel like I’m the perfect age to watch this movie

I’m not the biggest fan of musicales but my friend recommended this movie and Oml it’s so Good. One of the best musicalz I’ve even watched other than Sweeney Todd that talks about how humans die young and we don’t have much time left so we have to do what we love in order to live to the fullest.

Tragic that Rent isn’t even that good. 5 years later, I still maintain Garfield should have won Best Actor for this. He soars in this, hitting every mark perfectly. Not to mention, he’s a great singer. A really solid first feature from LLM. He gets musicals very well, and you really feel that in the seams of this. Though my taste has changed since my first watch 5 years ago, I still see why I fell in love with this…

lembro que da primeira vez que assisti em 2021 me pegou demaissss. tinha alguns meses que eu tinha começado a fazer beat e eu tinha acabado de completar 21 anos. hoje com 26 e quase 6 anos de carreira me identifico ainda mais, apesar de gostar um pouco menos do filme.. mas sigo achando lindo!

heartbreaking. authentic. catchy as hell. this movie was incredible, I loved it all the way through. an exploration of the tortured artist, told through his own story coming face to face with the reality of show biz, the highs, the lows, the sleepless nights, the crushing failures. and how there might be more important things than art, or maybe that there are better things to say with your gift, more important stories to tell. andrew garfield was inCREDIBLE, genuinely captivating on-screen and talented as hell. incredible movie

This is a movie based on the short life of Jonathan Larson who is worried that he doesn’t have much to show for being on the verge of turning 30, as compared to his parents and others. He seems to always be so busy with living life but has worked many years on composing a theater show which he can’t seem to finish. Is it procrastination? He’s down to the wire now. It’s do or die. Maybe it’s taken so…

This movie is a really good depiction of what it feels like to have your art form take over your life. As someone who plays multiple instruments and is very involved with my art department, the scene where Jonathan is at work and his mind keeps jumping from topic to topic, unable to stay based in real life or his ambitions is such a masterfully acted and written scene. As someone who also works in food industry, the conflictive nature…

Masterfully written and artistically magnificent, a lot of emotions spurred while watching this. It feels like every year I discover that a movie that I’ve been interested is actually based on someone from real life, makes it more compelling to watch. The stark contrast between the musical and what it’s supposed to portray is surprisingly deep, takes you to another level. Andrew Garfield shines so well in the leading role, it’s as if he was born to perform in this…
