Remaking a classic is never an easy job and can often be a bad decision, but Steven Spielberg handles West Side Story with such care and grace that he’s created a new masterpiece that will introduce new and future generations to this Broadway staple.

Former Jet Tony (Ansel Elgort) is caught dancing with Shark María (Rachel Zegler) that leads to Jets leader Riff (Mike Faist) and Sharks leader Bernardo (David Alvarez) calling an all-out rumble.

With this being the first musical Spielberg has ever made, he continues to cement himself as one of the most prolific directors of all-time with this film. Ariana DeBose continues to show why she is the star of her generation, Rachel Zegler makes a stunning debut and Rita Moreno brings new life to a project that defined her career.

Final say: I have a love. ★★★★★
