In the Heights
The creator of “Hamilton” and the director of “Crazy Rich Asians” invite you to a cinematic event, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big. Lights up on Washington Heights. The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. “In the Heights” fuses Lin‐Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.
Streets that are made of Music @Bolz
Everything about this story is beautiful. The secret ingredient behind every shot, every instrument, every visual effect, and every performance, is joy, and a hope for humanity that just flows through every fiber of this film. I now own both the movie and Broadway soundtracks, and I laugh, cry, and connect with the characters every time I return to this beautiful world. It is a story and celebration for every generation.
Nope! @Cass2192
I loved this musical when I saw it back in high school & I’ve listened to the CD so many times, but the movie.....terrible!! I couldn't even finish it unfortunately. I’m really disappointed because I’ve been so excited to see it ever since I first heard they were going to make it. Sadly they altered the movie. I would not recommend!
Trailer told me everything I needed to know @Shadowb1
Gathered from what I saw in the movie trailer. The movie isn’t something I’d watch. In a portion of the Trailer a kid says “there gonna come after all the “Dreamers”.” Which.. clearly means this movie is about the acceptance of illegal immigration. I’m sure this movies popular on the other side of the aisle.
Sad movie @Parkjongsoo
This movie is extremely sad. This is what happens when WOKE people start giving this film five stars. Rotten Tomatoes had to scene the ratings a bit cause if they didn’t they would be attack by Woke people. I fell asleep so…….
I ma sorry, just not original or good @Reviewmasta1
There is nothing in this movie that would catch the eye - everything is so redundant and lazy filmed. Actors are mediocre and it is grossly overpriced for such low quality.
