For
#FilmFriday I am recommending the movie adaptation of the
#Broadway #Musical #DearEvanHansen starring
@benplatt in the lead role that won him a
#Tony #Emmy and
#Grammy . Sure he is
#TooOld to play a high school student but I’ll be damned if I didn’t cry while he sang “Words Fail” at the end.
#KaitlynDever is great as Zoe. Amy Adams is great in her role. I love the director
#StephenChbosky (writer and director of Perks of Being A Wallflower). The additional song “The Anonymous Ones” they give to Alana (played by
#AmandlaStenberg ) is perfect for the themes of the movie and I hope they add it to the musical. At times the transition from talking to singing feels messy or awkward but I still enjoyed it.
