I went to hs with ppl who looked far older than their age. Ben played this role perfectly. I was lucky enough to never have to deal with social anxiety or depression (depression hit when i was older) in hs but he played the part so well that I felt his anxiety through the screen and music and only a truly talented artist could do that.

Respectfully, just because something talks about an important subject that doesn’t automatically make it good or well made. Ben Platt’s a great performer but even despite the make up, his performance really isn’t appropriate for a film adaptation especially when you look at how everyone else around him is acting. The screen and film and two different mediums and I don’t think he really differentiated the two during this entire movie.

I absolutely do not understand those people saying that he looks old or that he looks cringey. A) he is older but we all know that 16-year olds have been played by 25+ -year olds since the beginning of movies. He does not look distractingly older in my opinion, he looks very in place. B) HE IS A KID THAT HAD TO LIE TO GET EVEN ONE PERSON TO BE THEIR FRIEND! It is absolutely realistic that he does not look 100% like your typical teenager. Evan Hansen would be a weirdo if he existed and not a cool weirdo.If he looked cool would he have to lie to get friends? Nope. We can see that as the story progresses and he gets some more confidence he stops looking so weird. Ben's depiction of this vulnerable kid is incredible. His performance is superb both vocally and as an actor. Without Ben, this movie wouldn't have been the same.

a lot of people hate the plot of this story because "he's lying" and "he's a manipulator" but that's not how i see it. it's the reason connors dead. his mom *doesn't listen* you see time and time again throughout this musical and is implied through Zoe that their mom *doesn't ever listen to anybody* she didn't listen to connor when he was outwardly crying for help by acting out and being terrible, bouncing him from one treatment to the next. she *doesn't listen* to evan when he tries to tell them that there's been a mistake. she *doesn't listen* when he tries to tell them that he didn't know connor just before this song. the only time she LISTENS is when he shouts that it's all spiraled out of control and it was all made up. that's the only time she listens, when evan actually sticks up for himself. and as someone like evan, speaking up to someone with higher authority than you is friggin terrifying. we really do need to talk about how cynthia is a main part of her sons death more :/

This scene sounds great and is acted well by Ben. He's a very talented actor. It's just the hair and makeup. I wholeheartedly believe if they styled him to look like he did in The Politician (a great show btw) it would be far less distracting. Or, just make it an animated movie and have Ben voice Evan. There is so much untapped potential that could be found if they made animated Broadway adaptations. Still, I am one of the few people who think this is a pretty decent adaptation. It's not perfect. It has some glaring flaws, but it's still pretty faithful to the stage show (and yes, I've seen the touring cast).

I can’t with his look. A 28 year old passing as a 17, 18 year old. I just can’t. They should have casted someone else. His look was way better on stage than on motion picture.

Idk, I had no problem buying it, my parents and I have worked with teenagers for years and he looks like plenty of teenagers we've worked with. Don't get why he gets hate, his performance is perfect here imo.

@@gabrielvermund he is great don't get me wrong. I just think it would have been better with someone else as that character.

Yes I agree. He is one in a million in terms of vocal talent, but he wasn’t the right choice for this movie. Kaitlin is lucky in that she isn’t that much younger, but she could pass for a teenager

He was actually 27 when he filmed it. This movie was released on his 28th birthday though

Idk why he got so much hate for looking too old to be a highschooler, like bruh, I have seen highschoolers who look like him, some looking like they work a 9-5.

I loved is voice, but I don't think it was a well directed film. I kept willing him to blink because it made him a look bit starey-eyed and creepy which is a shame because the live clips of him I've seen on youtube don't give me that lol
