The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B+
"The movie makes the story accessible to everyone, without diminishing the musical's revolutionary, youthful heart."
Austin American-Statesman: 4 of 5 stars
"If there were any convincing proof that movie musicals have regained their composure, speaking directly to audiences who are not ashamed of their feelings, it is the rousing shout of 'Rent.'"
Middletown Journal: B
"While 'Rent' may sound gloomy, it's first and foremost about the bonds of friendship and love, and that subject never grows dated."
The Palm Beach Post: B
"...this tale of romance among destitute, AIDS-infected bohemians still has quite an emotional punch as it celebrates the power of community, art and love."
