Classic. Very "musical theater" Modern Romeo and Juliette. Great songs & choreography.
Definitely my favorite musical of all time! It's so cool and all the songs are amazing!
The music, choreography, and production is great, even if the plot and acting aren't brilliant
Despite the love story being a bit problematic, the music, choreography, acting and message are all great.
Art-not sociology. Not ethnic? Elgort's father is fashion photographer. Hamlet should speak Danish. Kingsley (Indian) is a Jew (Schindler).
A film that will stand for decades, a film that showed a different side of 60’s New York!
It's music is great but the ending is really sad
I’m not big fan of musicals but this classic is remarkable & classic.
A classic and for good reason. I don't typically enjoy films like this, so I was surprised that I really liked it. Worth watching.
A classic retelling of Romeo & Juliet set in 50's New York. Fine acting, singing, music, and choreography. One of my top musical films.
