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 Patrick Beatty ABC4 Utah I have rarely seen a recording of a stage musical capture the scale and electricity of a live performance, but “Hamilton” comes the closest. Sep 7, 2025 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 Read all reviews

Anita Amazing as expected, Lin can do no wrong! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Karen Amazing production. Music and choreography were superb. Ready to see it again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Thais W Not a fan of the rap style music . Story was excellent and emotional ! Costumes terrific Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/25 Full Review MariG If you love music, beat, humor, dance, & creativity this is the movie for you. I sang & moved to the beat the entire movie. LOVED IT!! THANK YOU for bringing it to the movies!!! The interviews were awesome!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Brian M A person could set a camera to take in the entire stage and let the play so on! The result would be pretty close to attending the live performance and sitting near the camera. You could claim "I saw Hamilton!". This crew went above and beyond - more like letting you "experience" Hamilton, from one side to the other, from afar and close up, from above! And nothing random about how they set all of those cameras, all very intuitive. Oscar for cinematography! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Linda Excellent singing, dancing and choregraphy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
