Critics Consensus

Look around, look around at how beautifully Hamilton shines beyond Broadway - and at how marvelously Thomas Kail captures the stage show's infectious energy.

Entertainment Weekly

On film, Hamilton feels every bit as fresh, invigorating, intoxicating, and revolutionary as it did when it premiered five years ago.

NOW Toronto

In a single song, Renee Elise Goldsberry shows off a range between Monica's vocals and Lauryn Hill's rhyme skills. Goldsberry drops the most exhilarating performance I've seen all year.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The dramatic themes here are big and eternal, and the way history played them out gives them a powerful thump.

Rated: 5/5

All these ideas and issues are conveyed even more powerfully on film than watching it in a theater...

The phenomena that's been the topic of conversation for the past few years is a must watch. Friendly reminder on why Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius.

Perhaps because of the concert format, and because so many of the songs arent scenes in the traditional sense, the plot also becomes difficult to follow in places.

A groundbreaking and creative reimagining of the founding fathers that excels in irresistibly catchy music that weirdly works with its modern hip-hop/rap musical influences and diverse colorblind casting that breathes new life into these poetic, almost mythical figures. Someone of the characters are rightfully called out for their hypocrisy of proclaiming "All men are created equal" while simultaneously owning slaves, while others are unfortunately spared from consistent criticism & self-reflection (to be fair, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton might be doe of the only non-offenders here). Alexander Hamilton is really given his dues with all of his unappreciated contributions to the founding of America's government and history. There's so much rich history and character drama amongst all the characters as they transition from rebellious revolutionaries, to committed wartime leaders, to pioneers of America's newly founded democracy, to finally their bitter aftermath as they start to squabbles over power. The choreography is excellent and synced so well with the energetic music and densely clever lyrics. Everyone is acting their heart out, with special shout outs to Lin Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton and Jonathon Groff as the wonderfully pompous King George III. I was late to the party, but I can proudly say this won me over as a Hamilton fan.

Technically not a movie, but it was filmed and has credits…and is feature length…so, I might as well review it. A fantastic, perfect musical in every single way. The music, the writing, the choreography, story, and characters are so excellently well-crafted and there's a reason it's one of the most famous musicals of all time. With Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr. and the great mind that is Lin-Manuel Miranda, I'll be watching this over and over and over in the future and love it each and every single time.
