Last week, our resident film critic, Brandon Vick, caught an advanced screening of the musical-turned-movie Dear Evan Hansen, starring Ben Platt, along with acting juggernauts Amy Adams and Julianne Moore. We decided to fire up the mics after this one, as Brandon offered up his full review of Dear Evan Hansen and more on the latest episode of The Vick’s Flicks Podcast.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- The disappointment of Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho.
- Ted Lasso cleaning house at the Emmys.
- A look ahead to October in film.
- Did Dear Evan Hansen deliver compared to the play?
- Is it every bit the tearjerker the trailers made it out to be?
- Is Ben Platt too damn old to convincingly be playing a high school student?
- How did the musical aspect stack up between the movie and the play?
- Themes of the film might not have hit as hard as the filmmakers intended.
- Was there a mis-utilization of Adams and Moore?
- Some other critics’ reviews of Dear Evan Hansen.
- The best qualities of the movie, where Ben Platt shines in allowing the music to tell the story.
- Brandon’s final #VicksFlicks score for Dear Evan Hansen.
