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.

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.

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

Rated: 5/5

I have rarely seen a recording of a stage musical capture the scale and electricity of a live performance, but “Hamilton” comes the closest.

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.

Don't be late! The movie begins with interviews and the amazing story of how this incredible story became the epic theatre production/movie that it is today. Seeing it on the big screen is akin to seeing it as a play on Broadway you see and hear everything without distraction. Amazing!!

The difference between the movie & the Broadway musical is the live element of a Broadway show. The movie revealed facial expressions better.
