from Las Vegas, NV
This production was beautifully filmed. The sound is great, and the cast was strong.
Though there have recently been some successful movie adaptations of Broadway shows, seeing them is not the same as seeing a live performance. This managed to capture the energy and intensity of the NYC production. The show is not perfect, and I was reminded why I have never loved Rent. For every moment of stunning emotional beauty, there is another moment of superficial drek. I wish J. Larson had lived longer, so that he could have edited his show a bit better. But I am glad that we have this representation of the NYC production, and hope that we will see many more filmed versions of Broadway shows

Yes, I recommend this movie.
