Review
"[Platt] tones down his stage performance just enough for the big screen, but retains Evan's quick sense of humor and lovable nature, despite his misdeeds. He pummels you in the end."--New York Post"Amid Levenson's overhaul and director Stephen Chbosky's grounded aesthetic - both of which fluctuate between fascinating and flummoxing - "Dear Evan Hansen's" foundation thankfully survives the stage-to-screen remodeling."--Washington Post"There are enough of these goosebump-inducing, epiphanic moments courtesy of the actor that you see why people might love this film as well as cringe at it. Platt does not ruin the movie. He singlehandedly gives it a voice."--Rolling Stone
