Hamilton Reviews

Movie Reviews

• touching on everything from blind ambition to sacrificing oneself for a greater cause to political scandals to the lessons of history, "Hamilton" is a revolutionary masterwork about a great revolution

  by Richard Roeper [Chicago Sun-Times ]

• the movie ably captures everything that has made the musical so highly acclaimed, from the rhythmic hip-hop dialogue that resonates like 21st-century Shakespeare to the delightful cognitive dissonance of watching actors of color play ultra-white American

  by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]

• Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical masterpiece comes home in a dazzling version that feels less like a cash grab than it does a public service; This is "Hamilton" as you always wanted to see it, and it always will be

  Review rate : A- by David Ehrlich [IndieWire ]

• Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical is smart, witty, funky and leaves us reflecting on America's past and future; this such a joyous musical to watch

  by Arifa Akbar [The Guardian ]

• entertaining, energetic and unfailingly smart, this is theatre at the highest level, performed by a cast without a weak link. You can’t say no to this

  by Helen O'Hara [Empire Magazine ]

• as history -- as a grounding in and reminder of where this whole thing started -- "Hamilton" is facile yet irresistible. As soul-affirming entertainment, it is overwhelming

  by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]

• as a result, though, the film is at times deeply moving and, for a show that is virtually all song and no dialogue, extraordinarily character-rich; "Hamilton" is a uniquely joyful achievement

  by Peter Marks [Washington Post ]

• "Hamilton" remains an explosive show, an optimistic revision of history bursting with creative light, and that light can help illuminate the path through our current darkness
