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.

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

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

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

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.

Rated: 3/4

Kaleb R Love this movie!!! It is so slay Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Liz S 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. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Blob 9 For those not familiar with American history, this lively musical will no longer make you a novice. The music and the pacing is so immersive, that even a musical hater can't deny the talent on stage. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Karlos B fuc this sht ass play/ Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Sofia A (Rewatch) Brillant lyrics, singing, choreography and acting. Great filming of a live show. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Superstar C There's a reason this musical won so many awards - this is truly Lin Manuel Miranda's magnum opus. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
