Dear Evan Hansen

"The end result is painfully true to the spirit of the play."

"A ponderous movie that turns earnest into maudlin, lyrical into lugubrious."

"Dares to step out with sincerity into the age of snark."

"(A) hyper-engineered world of tragedy exploited and truth forsaken."

"Exquisitely engineered to give us all the feels."

"This musical is manipulative, and strange."

"The Tony-winning musical loses impact on the big screen."

"This film suffocates you with ersatz compassion and personal growth."

"(A) plodding, whimpering Broadway musical adaptation..."

"Baffling emoto-musical becomes exhausting all too quickly."
