FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/tick-tick-boom-spoiler-free-review "tick, tick…BOOM! is one of my favorite movies of the year! Boasting memorable, addictive, first-rate music performed by astonishingly talented actors, Lin-Manuel Miranda delivers one of the best musical films of the century. From the absolute standout, "30/90", to the highly satisfying payoff, "Louder than Words", the vast majority of songs serve a necessary purpose, moving the plot forward in an entertaining manner while also developing the compelling characters. Andrew Garfield delivers one of the best performances of his career, demonstrating his impressive emotional range and artistic skills, both as an actor and a performer. Technically, no fault to point out whatsoever. Do NOT miss this work of art!" Rating: A

I recall reading back in 1996 about Jonathan Larson, the creator of the wonderful "Rent" (amongst others) and was intrigued to see just how Lin-Manuel Miranda might tackle this story. Though fairly well known in theatrical circles now, back in 1989/1990 Larson was a struggling songwriter. Juggling his relationships, his funding, an indifferent agent and quite a bit of a mental block, we are treated to a tour de force effort from Andrew Garfield as he portrays this visionary young man striving to complete this eponymous work. I think Garfield is super here. He can hold a note and he brings something of the charm, dedication and charisma of this young man to the screen with the aid of some fine original lyrics with collaborator Stephen Sondheim. Miranda keeps the pace moving along in a lively fashion, offering us quite an insight into the demons this man faced without allowing it to become melodramatic, or sentimental - and there are two strong supporting efforts from Vanessa Hudgens and Robin de Jesus. At times it does have a documentary style feel to it, the audience is a fly on the wall and - not always comfortably - that adds a poignancy to the presentation of this dedicated fellow. Anyone interested in musical theatre, or, indeed, the entire sphere of artistic and creative processes ought to watch one good actor's efforts to immerse us in the labours of love and pain of a good writer.

tick, tick…BOOM! is a cinematic triumph that captivated me from start to finish. The film tells an inspirational yet tragic story, with both of these elements being captured perfectly by the unique direction of Lin-Manuel Miranda. The backdrop of the AIDS epidemic serves as a poignant reminder of the era's struggles, which constantly brings the positive highs of the music into sharp relief, ultimately foreshadowing Jonathan Larson's conclusion. Lin-Manuel Miranda's background in theater is evident in every frame of the film. The way the scenes are shot is unlike anything I've seen before in a movie, making tick, tick…BOOM! a true masterpiece. Add in Andrew Garfield's masterful performance, which is arguably his best yet. He embodies the character of Jonathan Larson flawlessly, with his quirky mannerisms and extravagant persona. What's more, Andrew Garfield’s voice is incredible, which I was pleasantly surprised to discover. Alexandra Shipp gives an emotionally nuanced performance that plays off Garfield's portrayal very well, creating a believable on-screen chemistry that adds depth to the movie's narrative. In addition, Robin de Jesús's performance is fantastic, and Vanessa Hudgens delivers an outstanding vocal performance, though her role is somewhat limited. It was disappointing to see that she was barely in the movie, considering she was billed as one of the lead actresses. Overall, tick, tick…BOOM! is a masterpiece that exceeded all my expectations. It's a biographical picture that stands out among the rest, cementing its place as one of my favorite movies of the genre to date. Score: 90% 🏅 Verdict: Excellent
