Review of tick, tick... BOOM! (2021) by Soulwarfare — 05 Feb 2022

I never watched or heard about the actual broadway show that this is based on. However, a story about the difficulties of creating something, in this case a musical, and turning it into an entertaining musical is to be praised.

This film does a great job in getting us invested in Jonathan Larson's creative struggle while giving us great musical numbers. Andrew Garfield gives a phenomenal performance as Jonathan and can surprisingly sing pretty good too! I also love the way the story is told with them having Jonathan doing a tick tick.

. BOOM! show and having him tell the story to us the viewers. It keeps the magic feeling of it being like the actual broadway show. tick, tick…BOOM! is a stellar musical with great, unique sounding music numbers and an engaging story.
