If you’re not into it after the first 10 minutes, just turn it off, because you’re not going to like it.
It’s a true musical in every sense of the world: everything is extremely (melo)dramatic, and it’s filled with as much overacting and oversinging as you’d expect.
If that’s your thing, this is for you, I really commend Lin Manuel Miranda and Andrew Garfield for going all the way.
But to me it’s just tacky and inauthentic, there’s a fairytale quality about it that makes me feel icky.
The way it tries to force emotion onto you by spelling out the feelings of every character isn’t very artful, in my opinion.
I was kinda surprised to see Black Thought show up, which is probably the highlight of the film for me, being a fan of The Roots.

@jordyep Correct. If you don't enjoy musicals, you will not enjoy this autobiographical musical about a composer of musicals. Before this film, I was unaware of Jonathan's other work prior to RENT. I also understand now how Lin-Manuel Miranda stands on Larson's shoulders with works like Hamilton. According to Wikipedia, Miranda played Jonathan's role in this musical for one of its runs; I'm very glad that he made a film so the nation could learn more about Larson.
