neutral · AI labelView post →Scarlett Johansson's "Eleanor the Great" is "Dear Evan Hansen" for Holocaust survivors. Weirdest film I've seen at #Cannes2025, an attempted crowdpleaser so fascinatingly apolitical it circles back around to relevant, in ways it isn’t prepared to handle. decider.com/2025/05/23/s...
neutral · AI labelView post →Nepo-baby discourse should not be about how Jane Fonda’s dad was Henry Fonda, it should be about how Ben Platt being so comically miscast in Dear Evan Hansen can be best explained by the fact that his dad produced the film
neutral · AI labelView post →Writing a review of a festival film and looked up an intriguing young actor to see what his deal is. And, welp, he was just in a Danish production of Dear Evan Hansen. Really sad that we inflicted that show on the rest of the world.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m expecting the cast of the New Harry Potter series to go through an even worse version of what the Stranger Things kids get through where they’re only on book four but they all look like the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen
neutral · AI labelView post →however you *can* get 'the lead insists on keeping this role even though he's aged out of it, and his dad is producing the movie.' And that's how we got the magic of Dear Evan Hansen.
neutral · AI labelView post →What movie take has you like this? I’ll start. Dear Evan Hansen isn’t the bad film you were told it was. In fact, it’s a wonderful film. A rare instance of a haircut ruining an entire world’s perception of a film.
positive · AI labelView post →many of you don’t know this, but i actually had a callback for the Dear Evan Hansen movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I'll never understand why people would listen to Dear Evan Hansen when they could just listen to Jenny Nicholson's Youtube review of the Dear Evan Hansen movie adaptation
neutral · AI labelView post →speaking of musicals can we talk about how weird the Dear Evan Hansen movie was as a result of their MC casting?
neutral · AI labelView post →There's something ironic that in the fact that in the 2021 film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, it was hard to believe Ben Platt (age 27) was ten years younger as Evan Hansen, while Julianne Moore was 60 and played Evan's mom (a character 20 years younger) effortlessly.
neutral · AI labelView post →Beautiful, heartbreaking lyrics in this one. This movie made me 😢. Anonymous Ones, Dear Evan Hansen #CarlsChallenge youtu.be/UJpYbo60OoY
positive · AI labelView post →Surprised Jason with local theatre tickets of Dear Evan Hansen a while ago and the showing is finally next weekend! He’s not even seen the film, and he’s managed to avoid any spoilers about it. I know all about it but still, so excited 🥹
neutral · AI labelView post →None of the characters in Dear Evan Hansen are queer. Except in the movie, where they make the best friend side character who makes a homophobic joke in the stage musical gay, to make the homophobic joke less homophobic
neutral · AI labelView post →We're on week 2 of Amy playing grieving mothers... but this time it's a musical about social anxiety, depression, and suicide! @kevintporter.bsky.social joins us to discuss Dear Evan Hansen, the film adaptation of the hit Broadway show that won 6 Tony awards. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...
neutral · AI labelView post →of all the failures of the Dear Evan Hansen movie, I'm still *amazed* that they cut Good For You, which is one of the best songs AND one of the most important character beats in the musical. I guess they were afraid to include a song going "Evan is a massive piece of shit and he knows it lmao"
neutral · AI labelView post →I figured why not try attempting to do a fan poster for an adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen (knowing how the actual film adaptation dropped the ball) Evan Hansen, a high school senior who struggles with social anxiety, gets himself caught in a web of lies after a classmate takes his own life.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dear Evan Hansen I almost gave up film
negative · AI labelView post →just saw the most cursed bus - it still had a poster for the Dear Evan Hansen movie on its side
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Dear Evan Hansen the movie for the first time in a post Diet Pepsi climate just kinda made me feel bad for Ben Platt. You did a good job baby, there were just some unsettling choices x
neutral · AI labelView post →Tomorrow night I finally get to see Dear Evan Hansen on stage. I’ve seen the film (not great) and read the book (it was pretty good) but never seen the stage show. Finally get to cross it off my list!

Highlights for those unable to get past the paywall: “Tiananmen: A New Musical,” with a book by Scott Elmegreen and music and lyrics by Drew Fornarola, follows two fictional students at Beijing Normal University who are named after real students killed by the military. Initially, the students, Peiwen and XiaoLi, have contrasting perspectives on the protests, but they fall in love and witness history as tanks roll into the square and…
neutral · AI labelView post →I forgive him for the Dear Evan Hansen movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Dear Evan Hansen with @licencetoqueer.com. Both of us expecting a heart warming / uplifting musical. I feel terrorised. It was so tense and I was on edge the whole film. It was like a horror about a pathological liar. Like Saltburn + songs. Surely we aren't alone in this reaction?
negative · AI labelView post →yall, i thought Love Simon was the film sequel to the Dear Evan Hansen play
neutral · AI labelView post →They’ve apparently reworked the production design for the touring version of DEAR EVAN HANSEN to disassociate it from the movie and lol, lmao

neutral · AI labelView post →That said, I can't hear about Dear Evan Hansen now without remembering Jenny Nicholson's breakdown of the film version. It's hilariously and distressingly on point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8quW...
neutral · AI labelView post →“Amy Adams and Julianne Moore were in the Dear Evan Hansen movie” will never not be an insane sentence

neutral · AI labelView post →Nothing makes you realize how incredible the Wicked movie is quite like watching the Dear Evan Hansen movie right before it
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm rewatching Dear Evan Hansen 👕 and people need to stop the slander against this movie. Yes Ben Platt is a 27 year old playing a HS student, but the kids in Grease were much older. ONJ was 29 and Stockard Channing was 33 ffs. I love this movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you see this, post something blue! 💙 Like most people, I agreed that Ben Platt was NOT a good choice for Evan Hansen in the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, so naturally I considered the next best option, having also played him on stage. Naturally, the prominent colors are blue.
negative · AI labelView post →Just got back from seeing the musical Dear Evan Hansen at the local playhouse. It was amazing but it broke me, even though I knew the story from the movie version. 😭
positive · AI labelView post →I have nothing against musicals. The Sound of Music is a wonderful movie and play. The Wizard of Oz is a classic. Muppets and Disney make fantastic movies. But holy crap are most musical theater productions horrendous. Grease, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen... truly horrific stories with cheesy music.
negative · AI labelView post →Dear Hollywood Maybe moviegoers wouldn't hate musicals if "Cats" (the movie) and "Dear Evan Hansen" (the movie) and "Mean Girls" (the movie) didn't keep tricking us into seeing bad movie musicals
neutral · AI labelView post →I still find it uncanny how much Ben Platt stole from Todd when he made the Dear Evan Hansen movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ha! My kid and I watched Hamilton together too! Only on TV, but still. 😁 We both enjoyed it thoroughly. Fair warning, if you ever decide to be curious: 'Dear Evan Hansen' is a beautiful movie that we both really enjoyed, but we were fucking SOBBING. She apologized to me afterward. 😅
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Dear Evan Hansen in like 2019. The staging was kinda neat, and the vocal performances were spectacular. The story was.... something.

Well it's actually relevant, this is anti-Dubai agitprop. Not that it will help make sense of cryptic Labubu posting. It's the tendency of the rate of profit to fall or some shit. I want to go home.

neutral · AI labelView post →Whoops. Right out of the gate, Ben Platt in the film adaption of “Dear Evan Hansen.” That hair didn’t fool the critics, huh? #movies
neutral · AI labelView post →why is this movie the plot of Dear Evan Hansen
neutral · AI labelView post →Weird comparison but the thing it reminds me of is how so many people on Tumblr got really into Dear Evan Hansen based on the soundtrack and were shocked when they saw the movie and learned what it was about. But at least they had the excuse of not being able to see it on stage
neutral · AI labelView post →Jeremy Strong will star in Aaron Sorkin’s sequel to “The Social Network” and all I can picture is him wearing the “Dear Evan Hansen” movie wig…
neutral · AI labelView post →Same. The fact that an animated kids’ film handled themes about depression and suicide than stuff like 13 Reasons Why and Dear Evan Hansen is genuinely commendable
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't help but think of Ben Platt in that Dear Evan Hansen film. Not sure why.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m working a performance of Dear Evan Hansen at the theater tonight where I work at and I honestly cannot understand how people like this. Like I’ve heard that the movie sucks but the show is absolutely unbearable on its own that I’m shocked it has won any Tonys, let alone six

neutral · AI labelView post →WHY CAN’T YOU JUST ADMIT DEAR EVAN HANSEN IS A GREAT FILM?
positive · AI labelView post →I don't honestly know anything about him personally. 😂 Just the general vibe. And I guess there was a looooot of people annoyed he played Dear Evan Hansen in the movie looking 40 (but was only 26 iirc 😭) when it should have been an actual teenager.
neutral · AI labelView post →So happy to hear this. I’ve been disappointed by recent movie musicals (Dear Evan Hansen killed me) but I was always going to take the risk to see Wicked. Can’t wait to see it!
negative · AI labelView post →like you have all these superhero movies that are trying way too hard to be ~gritty and realistic~ instead of just embracing the ridiculousness and fantasy of their genre and this same phenomenon has resulted in some truly horrible movie musical adaptations (cough cough Dear Evan Hansen)

neutral · AI labelView post →The film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen is now on Netflix. Do yourself a huge favour and never ever watch it.
negative · AI labelView post →AND! As Jenny Nicholson points out in her video on it, the Dear Evan Hansen movie also goes out of its way to make Evan less directly responsible for his actions than he is in the play, so that he's largely just going along with what other people are saying instead of making up lies himself.
