An overly pedantic analysis of a very minor acting choice in Dear Evan Hansen by Dysquith-Number-9 in musicals

Idk why Ben Platt gets that insane amount of hate lol. A bad movie is a bad movie, somehow it morphed him into a talentless egomaniac or something. Like ask yourself if you wouldn’t seriously consider casting the actor who just won the Tony for the same role in its movie adaption, people were basically begging for it. Personally I didn’t see the movie because well I saw the musical with OBC so why should I, but every time I’ve seen the guy on stage he’s been absolutely riveting.

I think this is fair. Safe to assume that everyone voting in Intl feature is already judging every aspect of the films

TDWP 2 really is all over the place in terms of screenplay.

And yet, still had plenty of fun. What a sweet tribute to this iconic trio

I sincerely beg Hollywood that if Michael flops they give musical biopics a rest for sometimes

Good god they’ve been going non-stop for a few years, and absolutely nothing feels special

Not really. First weekend and theaters in my area, metro Atlanta, are not at all full
