Custom-made for Hamilton fans, this documentary explores how the musical came to be, including enough of the electrifying music to convert the uninitiated.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2016

Hamilton's America is ultimately a celebration of drive, ingenuity, creativity -- both on stage and off.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 24, 2016

Even though Hamilton's America blurs the lines between advertisement and documentary, it's well worth the 80-odd minutes the viewer invests in it.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 24, 2016

There's more history here than expected, but it'll help make sense of all the references in the lyrics that you would miss otherwise.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 24, 2016

All in all, Hamilton's America is a classy commercial for the show.

Miranda, as charmingly enthusiastic here as he was hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live this month, is a potent ambassador for a Broadway smash written in the language of rap.

| Oct 22, 2016

Even more than the snippets of muscular rhymes and the thunderous dances we see from time to time, [Miranda] convinces us that there's something more to experience here beyond the novelties of rapping Founding Fathers.

Everyone from Hamilton obsessives (who can recite the songs chapter and verse - you know who you are) to those who've never fantasized about spending a fortune on the almost unattainable tickets to the Broadway hit will find plenty to love.

| Oct 20, 2016

Hamilton's America... smoothly marries the very personal nature of the musical's story with Hamilton's impact on the nation and the world, adopting Miranda's iconoclastic flavor in the process.

| Oct 20, 2016

Hamilfans will rejoice over the information, interviews, and elegance of Hamilton's America. But they'll completely lose their goddamn minds over its performance sections.

| Oct 20, 2016

There's something viscerally inspirational about the Miranda on full display here. That's what's best too.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 19, 2016

Using sharp graphic animations that draw on period etchings, the film offers as much fodder for history and political students as it does for theater and music fans.

| Oct 17, 2016

The producers of this engaged and often astute film have in no way thrown away their shot, but they might have taken more particular aim.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2016
