West Side Story

Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Ansel Elgort | Ariana DeBose
Released: 2021
Rating: ★★★★

First I have to admit to not having seen the original, but I enjoyed this despite not being a huge musicals fan. Shot wonderfully, as you would imagine, with plenty of vibrancy and energy. Some of the bigger dance scenes are magnificent to watch. I did find Ansel Elgort as Tony a little odd, almost plastic, to watch, but the singing and dancing makes up for a lot.
