Hamilton (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Hamilton (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Hamilton (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Hamilton (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Hamilton (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Hamilton (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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.

Luke D I Most Absolutely Recommend This Movie! It is so Fun and Is a Must Watch for Musical Lovers! Rated 5/5 Stars • 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 5/5 Stars • 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 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Pie S I was very satisfied with the movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Piper W I love this movie so much! It is just how I imagine Broadway would be. I love how Lin Manual Miranda shows rap with an old tale of two friends turned enemies. This definitely a must see. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Tennyson K In general it's one of the best movies ever Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
