Excellent--better than the film submitted by Donna on August 16, 2010, 11:24am I saw this in the movie theater when it first came out last year. It really gives you the feel of the Broadway production, which is a very different experience from the film version. They did an excellent job. It is not merely a straight shot of the proscenium; there are shots from many angles. This is actually a composite of two filmings they did. One was the actual final performance on Broadway and the other was from a few weeks earlier. This is well worth seeing.

Best cast submitted by Lucy S on July 2, 2015, 4:23am I liked this better than the movie version of Rent. The cast is great, edgier than movie cast. Well filmed. Interesting special features.

I agree, better than the film submitted by edb.blanchard on June 17, 2018, 1:09pm This recording of the broadway performance captures the urgency of this story that the film did not. This recording includes all the songs, and the more raunchy scenes than the movie, but is the more satisfying interpretation.
