First West Side Story Reactions Show Universal Acclaim, “Top Tier Spielberg”
With a few exceptions, I’m not a fan of movie-musicals. This looks like it’ll be one of those exceptions:
Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the beloved musical “West Side Story” finally began to screen for awards voters over the weekend ahead of its Christmas Day release. First reactions are pouring out as the film’s official premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles gets underway. Early reactions are offering praise for Spielberg’s direction and high marks for Rachel Zegler as Maria in her film debut.
