I remember after seeing ARRIVAL in 2016 that I claimed Amy Adams to be the most talented woman in the world. Awarding anybody points for singing well in a musical is like saying a superhero movie is good because it has good visual effects! Like… great? Who cares? I expect that as a baseline.Īmy Adams also appears in the movie and it is very unfortunate. I suppose he sounds vocally okay, at times, as far as the singing goes, but still, he deserves to be tried at the Hague. ![]() Platt walked around looking like Jeff Goldblum’s character in the final 15-minutes of David Cronenberg’s THE FLY and acting just as unhinged. I have nothing against repulsive-looking people being in movies, but if they’re going to be repulsive-looking, I would like them to walk around with some sort of empathy as I watch them. It’s legitimately distracting and disarming for the entire movie. It’s horrifying! And unfortunately, you never get used to how he looks. Platt looks like a wax figurine from Madame Tussuad’s. This is a movie-musical where a disturbing sociopath named Evan Hansen (played by Ben Platt, son of the producer of the movie, Marc Platt), convinces a grieving family that he was friends with their insane son who recently committed suicide so that Evan could have potentially better odds of sleeping with the daughter of the family! Despite that logline literally being the plot, it’s billed as an “important” and “eye-opening” piece of content about mental illness (?) and the idea that people who feel invisible can overcome that feeling.īen Pl*tt, a man who is allegedly only three years older than me but looks as if he is 47-years- old, delivers a horrific impression of John Hurt’s Elephant Man, contorted body and facial expressions and all, except he manages to have none of the humanity or garner any of the sympathy that that character warrants. It looks like a 137-minute commercial for the Gap. However, that explains why the stage version of DEAR EVAN HANSEN was so unbelievably popular: It’s incredibly emblematic of the community it was made for! I find that to be particularly upsetting because this is a movie about a bunch of people who have no understanding of the world and that is reflected in every moment of the movie. I must make a note of the fact that I went to school to get a Bachelor’s degree in musical theatre, so I have first-hand experience with how oftentimes obnoxious and self-serving theatre people are, but this movie is an actual nightmare because a large section of that community made this into one of the biggest musicals of the last decade.
