PRODUCT REVIEWS

Based on the famous Broadway musical (1957), West Side Story (2021) explores multiple themes and stories, including a dangerous rivalry between two street gangs of different ethnicity.  One gang going by the name of the Jets and the other the Sharks.  On the flip side, West Side Story is also about a pair of young lovers named Tony (Ansel Elgort) & Maria (Rachel Zegler), who are forbidden to take on their dreams and desires. Things only worsen when the two teenage gangs realise Tony and Maria's relationship is possibly growing into something more serious.  Tension begins to rise further within the city streets. Fun fact, West Side Story was released on Broadway in 1957 and then adapted into an award-winning film in 1961.  Now it has been adapted for the screen last year in 2021.  West Side Story is a musical filled with drama, crime and, romance.   It's clear the director Steven Spielberg has set out to do something he's never done before: a musical. I'm pleased to say the director is successful in many areas with the selection of cast and filming style, capturing dance sequences and dramatic tension wonderfully. The film's costumes and set locations are stunning and feel real, suiting a setting of the mid-'50s. Overall, I truly love that director Steven Spielberg has set himself a challenge of doing his first musical, and for the most part, his work once again is as great as expected. The film has a wonderful style, delivering fun entertainment along with many heartfelt and dramatic scenes. Costume designs and leading performances are stunning, and the musical numbers are a big highlight, delivering fun through the impressive talent on screen. With so much to brag about, I am saddened to see the film's biggest drawback is its pacing.  The film drags on in a couple of areas and some audiences will feel the runtime as the film enters its conclusion. * This review has been written for Sanity.
