Review of West Side Story (2021) by Tiomaay — 01 Feb 2022
Overall, this film was great.
The whole star-crossed lovers from rival families is getting old and very predictable at this point, it would have been more interesting if Spielberg choose to create his own musical. But other than that, it was still enjoyable thanks to how it was directed and I personally love Broadway, though I’m not certain that someone that don’t share that opinion would enjoy it as much: it could be boring at some moments. I note that some scenes were particularly remarkable, directed in the same way as it was done in 50’s and beautifully done, I was pleasantly surprised starting from the first scene.
I would say that it is the best musical of 2021.
