They made really dynamic choices to translate this from stage to screen. Cynthia Erivo sang the absolute mess out of “The Wizard and I” and was the perfect choice for Elphaba. Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey were spot on. If I had one complaint it’s that they put too many gaps into “Defying Gravity” where the song musically lost momentum taking it to the climax. Overall though, a really stellar part one and a magical experience at the movies.

Darkly funny, beautifully shot, and one of the best uses of silence in a movie since Oppenheimer. Kieran Culkin is a standout, creating a character that is a show-don't-tell representation of wearing your heart on your sleeve and being authentic in sometimes hypocritical ways. It's no accident that Jesse Eisenberg's character ends the movie wearing red, a color only worn by his odd-couple counterpart the rest of the film. The storytelling with design throughout was masterful.

A lot of films suffer from having too few ideas, this one suffers from having too many great ones where several really interesting characters and plot lines get breezed over. Overall, a super fun time at the movies and it looked absolutely gorgeous in XD.

Keeping a conversation driven movie that takes place almost entirely in a taxi cab engaging is no small feat, and this film is far more than just engaging. Following two imperfect strangers, Daddio reminds us of the wonderful things that can happen when we engage with each other on a deeply human level.

A few cool action sequences sandwiched between utter nonsense. In particular, the Awkwafina storyline felt underdeveloped: an attempt at heart that totally flatlined for me. Nic Cage, on the other hand, was spectacular.
