tick, tick... BOOM!

this movie has its problems, (noticeable green screens, some awkward pacing, ect.) as all netflix originals tend to, but the impact it leaves is undeniable. i hate when i am taken out of a film, but every time i rewatch this, im grateful for it. because i only notice more and more things that make it even more special. this movie was so experimental. between it being mirandas directorial debut, and garfields first musical, there was so much that couldve gone wrong, and yet that just makes it better. because that embodies the spirit of jonathan larson even more so. i could go on forever about little details in the lighting, or metaphors in the songs, ect ect. and for me, THAT is how i know this is a movie worth seeing. ALSO: just, in general, one of the best to both sing and cry to. and really, what more could you ask for?
