Don't see it if You're looking for a poignant story from 9/11. There were many, and this delivers none of it. It's trite, difficult to hear, insipid music
See it if you want to relive 9/11 on any level. Ambitious script, sort of leaves you hanging. Could have been better. Bit childish and manipulative.
Don't see it if your connection to 9/11 is too personal & you find any re-telling of that week disrespectful. We weren't offended, just disappointed.

Don't see it if You can't deal with 911
See it if you want to see actors struggle with underdeveloped characters and have to sing some really insipid lyrics and mostly lousy music.
