Movie Reviews

  • the script may have moved from stage to screen, but its star doesn't seem to have made that transition, and his performance reads heavily as just that - a performance
    Review rate : D by Mary Sollosi [Entertainment Weekly ]
  • the musical numbers lack oomph, but at the film's heart lies a compelling story of a teen in turmoil; Ben Platt deserves credit, however, for giving this performance his all
    2 of 4 by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]
  • the film works harder to fix the problems with its source material than to establish itself as an independent piece of art
    2 of 4 by Dan Rubins [Slant Magazine ]
  • Stephen Chbosky's poor directorial choices cancel out the rousing success "Dear Evan Hansen" was on stage, with a cascade of glaring distractions that continuously point out the artificiality of the genre
    Review rate : D by Tina Hassannia [IndieWire ]
  • ghoulish Ben Platt sinks high school musical; The film adaptation of the Tony-winning musical can’t overcome its 27-year-old star’s creepy teen makeup and the story’s wobbly handling of mental health
    2 of 5 by Adrian Horton [The Guardian ]
  • for some of its individual parts, "Dear Evan Hansen" is worth seeing, but as a sum of those parts, it lacks the cohesion necessary to elevate it beyond a singularly focused vehicle for Ben Platt to re-create his award-winning stage performance
    3 of 5 by Sandie Angulo Chen [Common Sense Media ]
  • emotionally shallow, narratively uneven and woefully unfocused, the film has flashes of humanity but for the most part it is a long dark night of the soulless
    2 of 5 by Sarah Cook [HeyUGuys ]
  • directed by Stephen Chbosky from a screenplay by Steven Levenson, "Dear Evan Hansen" goes for sincerity but it lacks awareness about its central character and has nothing interesting or deep to say about mental health
    2 of 5 by Mae Abdulbaki [ScreenRant ]
  • "Dear Evan Hansen" is an adaptation which, however heartfelt, often falls short of the intended, emotionally uplifting mark; Despite the pesky distractions, Ben Platt and company still manage to deliver the right message at precisely the right time
    by Michael Rechtshaffen [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • "Dear Evan Hansen" gives enjoyable, tuneful voice to important modern-day concerns but lacks the dramatic and cinematic chops to really take flight
    3 of 5 by Ian Freer [Empire Magazine ]
