Maureen Lee Lenker Entertainment Weekly On film, Hamilton feels every bit as fresh, invigorating, intoxicating, and revolutionary as it did when it premiered five years ago. Rated: A Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai 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. Dec 8, 2020 Full Review Chris Harvey 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 Nov 22, 2020 Full Review Ryan McQuade InSession Film All these ideas and issues are conveyed even more powerfully on film than watching it in a theater... Rated: A Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Rosa Parra Latinx Lens 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. Rated: 5/5 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review David Reddish Queerty 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.

Ksenia B This version of Lin-Manuel Miranda's revolutionary musical "Hamilton" filmed from the Richard Rogers Theater in New York is absolute must-see. It tells us story of Alexander Hamilton, who is Founding Father of the United States. Personally for me, the cast is perfect and extremely talented, every character showed their passion and determination in actions. They shone brighter than the stars on that stage. You believe their emotions because actors played really convincing. Quality of filming is brilliant, it flawless shows us all the energy and dynamic of the live show on our screens. Choreography could tell us story without words, but together with the music the effect on the viewer is multiplied a million times. This combination of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes will have you on the edge of your seat throughout every minute. Each dance and movement feel fully integrated into the storytelling. If this genre isn’t your cup of tea I still advise you to give “Hamilton” a chance at least to get acquainted with the cultural and historical aspects that are shown there. For people who adore musicals, it`s absolutely worthwhile masterpiece, and I'd be very surprised if you haven't watched it yet. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review eva c THIS SHOW IS JST VERY NICE,ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE PEREFCET 10\10 (btw i am not a bot >:() Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Luke D I Most Absolutely Recommend This Movie! It is so Fun and Is a Must Watch for Musical Lovers! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Joss H I was very satisfied with how they made this production. I was absolutely helpless when it came out and I've watched it about 1776 times! I mean, I'm constantly referencing it, when even in class! Hope the show doesn't burn out, I might just watch it one last time... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Salma M "Hamilton" is an exciting, inspiring, and reviving musical that contributes to the perfect representation of multiple forms of art, all in one. The music and its execution is exquisite, as well as the historical accordance and the portrayal of ethic and moral. The coreography and acting are synchronized in such a way that it's impossible not to emphatize, or even drop some tears. Character development and the use of metaphors are other important factors that contribute in making this a cinematographical masterpiece. In the end, what else could we expect? It was made by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Pie S I was very satisfied with the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
