Overall, if you're a fan of musicals, I think you'll find it hard to dislike this one. The fact that this feels both like a low-budget indie and an expensive musical at times was a very nice blend. This film felt like a breath of fresh air for the musical genre. By the end of the film, I just wanted to start it again to appreciate it even more. There are quite a few scenes throughout the first two acts where the songs are just random lines of dialogue being sung, which worked great, but I needed to adjust to that style.

I've been a massive fan of him since his incredible work in The Social Network and have loved him in nearly everything since, but I had no idea he was also musically talented. Now, to talk about the true star of the show here, Andrew Garfield as Jonathan Larson. The film crescendos with some of the best musical moments I've seen in quite a few years though, so the slow build to the conclusion felt very moving.
