- Synopsis
- This film adaptation of Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning rock opera tells the story of one year in the life of a group of bohemians struggling in modern day East Village New York. The story centers around Mark (Anthony Rapp) and Roger (Adam Pascal), two roommates. While a former tragedy has made Roger numb to life, Mark tries to capture it through his attempts to make a film. In the year that follows, the group deals with love, loss, AIDS, and modern day life in one truly powerful story.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Rent is one of the best film musicals in years -- exuberant, sexy and life affirming in equal measure."
-
"The movie is literally a series of showstoppers, unified by the impulse to turn life, at its scruffiest, into theater - into a rhapsody of the everyday."
-
"It's a pretty good version of a pretty great stage phenomenon"
-
"As a conventional drama, 'Rent' would be a pretty corny soap opera. As filmed theater, it's only slightly more convincing"
-
"Now a vastly larger audience has the chance to experience the masterwork of a prodigiously talented man who died far too young"
