Steven Spielberg’s updated take on the classical musical West Side Story is a wonderful adaptation and one of the director’s most accomplished works. The changes he makes further enhance the story’s emotional depth to brilliant effect. It’s so thoroughly captivating that even the charisma-less performance of Ansel Elgort can’t manage to sink it, and it’s packed top to bottom with gorgeous visuals, stunning production design, and star-making turns from its cast. Ariana DeBose and Mike Faist are surefire Oscar nominees, and newcomer Rachel Zegler delivers a landmark debut performance. She’s going to be a superstar.
