Festival de Toronto: 'Querido Evan Hansen' es la primera gran decepción
Tanto Telluride como Venecia han destacado este año por el gran nivel de sus películas y por la ausencia de grandes decepciones. Esta magnífica racha se ha cortado súbitamente en Toronto "gracias" a 'Querido Evan Hansen', la adaptación del exitoso musical que ha sido la película escogida para inaugurar el certamen canadiense. Los críticos han sacado los cuchillos a pasear con la nueva película de Stephen Chbosky ('Las ventajas de ser un marginado', 'Wonder') y están siendo especialmente crueles con la interpretación de Ben Platt. 'Querido Evan Hansen' ha debutado con un 47% y un 4,5 de media en Rotten Tomatoes y una nota de 39 en Metacritic, unos datos que dejan claro que no será una de las películas a tener en cuenta en la próxima temporada de premios.
Estas son algunas de las opiniones que están llegando desde Toronto...
DEAR EVAN HANSEN: VERY bad. We must throw Ben Platt in movie jail and revoke his Tony for this all-time bad performance, but let Julianne Moore arrest him because she’s the saving grace in this poorly realized and tone-deaf trainwreck that hits much differently on screen #TIFF21

Undoubtedly the worst musical I have ever seen. Overwrought and emotionless at the same time. Borderline offensive about trauma and mental illness. It’s like it spun a wheel of trauma a hundred times and added every option. Jail to everyone. pic.twitter.com/1sBMyJupfe
"It’s terrible...Dear Evan Hansen could have been enjoyable, but there are too many glaring problems that can’t be ignored for the sake of entertainment" https://t.co/KhEStDIxuF

DEAR EVAN HANSEN: If there were any chance of making this character look like something other than a monster, it rested on emphasizing his raw youth, which makes the casting of an OBVIOUSLY GROWN MAN JUST HUNCHING HIS SHOULDERS an act of sabotage that's near avant-garde #TIFF21 pic.twitter.com/x1zjc1aAQZ

#DearEvanHansen’s a real mixed bag for me. Some of the moments will wreck you, but are immediately followed by parts you’ll really struggle with. @KaitlynDever is best in show and the emotions are there, I’m just not sure how I feel about the package.#TIFF #TIFF21 pic.twitter.com/VR6Xg7UsED

Look, I will NEVER take away what so many people get from Dear Evan Hansen and what it means to them. But its foundation is irreparably broken in a way that not even Stephen Chbosky’s talent for capturing adolescence nor this great cast can fix. #TIFF21 pic.twitter.com/WAUVhGwRey

I would give my reaction to DEAR EVAN HANSEN but I don't want to be banned for insensitive language. #TIFF2021
