A musical semi-biography about Jonathan Larson on Netflix.
Let's tackle the elephant in the house, Andrew Garfield. This man is unbelievable. He fully embraced the character to the point of becoming the person. Whenever he started singing, he was elevated to another dimension and I was hooked. I don't know much about the musical or the composer, but I feel like they're exactly like what was on screen.
As a musical, this was a pretty strong feat. The director, Miranda, who was the composer of another big musical earlier this year, In the Height, so it's not surprising that with Garfield's performance, every piece of music was great and full of energy. Some of the songs were silly, but they were creative in terms of lyrics and performance.
I really enjoyed the movie, but the last 20-30 minutes were a little weak. It didn't have the emotion I wanted, and the last song was a little boring and not so necessary, but it's Larson's song, so I can't complain.
Overall a great musical that showcased the rough side of Broadway as well as the 90s plight.
