Jonathan Larson wrote the Broadway super-hit Rent then died. This is a biopic film based on the play he wrote before Rent, in which he tells about a rock opera he wrote that never quite made it.

Andrew Garfield is a magnificent Spider-Man. He is also a magnificent singer.

It’s very much a theatre piece about a theatre piece, which doesn’t always work, only this works.
