Honestly surprised that a 2 hour 40 minute film that is the first Act of a Broadway musical didn't feel like it dragged to me at all. My biggest compliment is that it really didn't feel too much like a stage adaptation which I was afraid that it would.
Maybe drag that saturation slider up a bit. Directing felt a bit flat at times, it was definitely no West Side Story. Either the mix or simply the diction on some…
