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.

Rated: 5/5

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.

Rated: 3/4

The live stage musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda is recorded with the original cast. This musical shows the life of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States of America. Some events are embellished to dramatic flair, but the basic premise of the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is intact. The cast is amazing and their performances iconic. Daveed Diggs as Thomas Jefferson, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton and Jonathan Groff as King George III are my standouts. Miranda’s music is also great with the personal favorite “Helpless”. Highly recommended film, go check it out!

I did not throw away my shot to watch this and was not disappointed! Each character brings more to the role with brilliant voices, acting and they all fit the parts so perfectly. It's brilliantly written and the songs hold a permanent place in my spotify favourites album. One of the best musicals! The overall energy is just amazing, I had the pleasure of watching it live and although it can be very difficult to take the magic from the stage into the screen Disney was very successful. Great musical!

I am personally a big fan of Hamilton. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I think this is truly one of the best musicals ever written. Not only is it entertaining and impressive with all of the rapping, dancing, acting, set design, music, etc., but it is also educational. It gives different sides and details to a story that many people know about: the Revolutionary War. Most people do not really know about Alexander Hamilton, Eliza Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the other main characters of the musical, even though they played a big part in the events occurring at that time.
