Would make a great double-bill with The Cobbler.
Just see it.
Fine Holiday fare! Wish Spielberg had been bold enough to use Shakespeare's original text but apart from that this is fine Holiday fare!
Quality of singing and orchestration; dance; acting. Great story line applicable to tensions today. Attention to detail. Faithful to Bernstein and Sondheim original with a focus on realism.
just boring, hardly worth the ticket
Rita Moreno rocks!
Better than House of Gucci and Encanto combined!
The movie followed the original story line closely, although the sequence of events changed slightly and some songs were sung by different characters. The ending was more emotional for me this time. I left the theater crying.
The original is still best! The remake was too graphic and the dance scenes not a good.
As a teenager, I saw the original production on Broadway & a half-century later, this version of the classic tale was just as thrilling!
