Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Kirk HoneycuttOne of the best film musicals in years -- exuberant, sexy and life affirming in equal measure.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe movie is literally a series of showstoppers, unified by the impulse to turn life, at its scruffiest, into theater - into a rhapsody of the everyday.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldColumbus is a member of the '80s generation and he gives the play authenticity, the respect of a classic, an epic visual scope and a sensibility that's blissfully free of any generational self-pity. It seems to be the movie he was born to make, and he serves it well.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanIf you fell in love with the big-hearted sentimentality of Rent when you saw it onstage, the film version will remind you why. If you think Jonathan Larson's musical is ponderous agitprop, the movie won't change your view.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyRent isn't nearly as transporting a film as the Oscar-winning adaptation of "Chicago," but its energies and passions compensate for a lot of its deficiencies.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Ruthe SteinColumbus' schizoid approach works more often than not.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Christine DolenNow a vastly larger audience has the chance to experience the masterwork of a prodigiously talented man who died far too young.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by J.R. JonesBut aside from a few overblown production numbers, Columbus respects the show's smaller scale, and the property itself is a knockout, with great tunes and engaging portraits of East Village bohemians in the AIDS-ravaged late 80s.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael PhillipsIt's a pretty good version of a pretty great stage phenomenon.
Christian Science Monitor - 7/10 by Peter RainerNow that it is at last on screen, my reaction is ... what's all the fuss?
