![]() ![]() ![]() The entertaining and heartbreaking film is not merely a sister show, though. Andrew Garfield and Alexandra Shipp co-star in the new film. Throughout the movie, for instance, he jots down the frenetic thoughts that flood his mind, a few notes of music here and there, and they all add up to “Rent” - his rock ’n’ roll spin on “La Boheme” about young New Yorkers trying to make art and survive a plague. Larson could never have known he’d write one of the most famous American musicals ever, but we watch as he unintentionally does just that. At a spry 30 years old, he chillingly says that his “time is running out.” He can’t afford to pay the bills for his shabby Greenwich Village walk-up and the power blows. In the new musical, Larson, played by an exceptional Andrew Garfield, struggles to finish a boundary-breaking musical while his friends are dying of AIDS all around him. Rated PG-13 (some strong language, some suggestive material and drug references.) In select theaters and on Netflix. ![]()
