    Featured review
    8/10

    from those who doesnt really follow broadway

    For me this movie doesn't take any time to hook the viewer. As soon as Andrew Garfield start singing, i already got in to the movie.

    The story was quite fast to catch but give it more effort and you'll be there. Me personally got a little loose in the middle of the movie, but doesn't take to much time to get back at it again.

    All i can say that Andrew Garfield is in his element, and you're gonna see a really great performance.
