I liked this movie a lot more than I thought it would.
I find that Netflix movies are hard to predict normally they are let downs but this one broke the cycle for me.
It was thoughtful. There was obviously research done by everyone involved.
Considering this is his directorial debut I do think that he does a good job for the most part. I think some scenes are amazing and will stick but others can be a little plainer.
Andrew Garfield is the star of the show though. His performance was fantastic. He really gave into the role. The pretentiousness, the heart, the sadness. He played the typical "musical theatre nerd" perfectly. It was so theatrical and over the top which worked. But the moments that called for more depth were also amazing. He was about to really capture the sadness.
I was really impressed. The music is as great too. The majority of the songs had a life of their own and felt original. They felt fresh even though this play was wrote in 1990.

Thought it wouldn't be my type of movie but I found it endearing and enjoyable to watch.
Andrew Garfield was great. Energetic, sang great, really captured the character and struggles.
The music are wonderful too.

Correct me if i'm wrong. I've seen so many actors in their respective movies and also off-screen (i.e., just in interviews, not in flesh), this guy is charming on & off-screen. I mean, his acting is so unique and incredibly realistic. He provides extra details and mentions more than required crew members and respects them. I just hope people would give good reviews for this excellent movie.
A very heartfelt, inventive, and inspirational musical about the creative process that is expressed through memorable music. Andrew Garfield was the standout, he brought the story to life and oh my I would never have thought he could sing.
A beautiful celebration, full of musical escalation, with a gifted congregation and their great performances; an outstanding dedication, with oratorical elation, for a truly special showman, makes a great retrospective.
