No, the makers of the 'Hamilton' performance film on Disney+ didn't throw away their shot, says Peter Travers — it's a peerless stage-to-film transfer. Our review
Kudos are due to Thomas Kail, who directed the Broadway version and repeats the feat for the film. With the help of the gifted Irish-American cinematographer Declan Quinn , who had nine cameras situated in the theater to get just the right angles and close-ups,guarantees you the best seat in the house.
As the “bastard, orphan son of a whore and a Scotsman” who rose to fame from poverty on a Caribbean island “by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter, by being a self-starter,” Alexander Hamilton represented the American Dream for immigrants. Opening during the Obama years when optimism had a chance, the play takes on additional power and purpose in the Trump-era of wall building and systemic racism.
And cheers to the women in Hamilton’s life. He and Burr vie over which of the wealthy Schuyler sisters they should hit on in New York, “the greatest city in the world.” Though it’s Eliza who becomes his wife, it’s her sister Angelica he can’t get out of his head. The camera has added a new level of intimacy to Goldsberry’s Tony-crowned portrayal — her version of “Satisfied” here is a showstopping stunner.
