“It u0026#39;s a big, sprawling movie about a Hispanic block in upper Manhattanu0026#39;s Washington Heights, and how each of them has his or her own dream, most of which are some variation of getting out of Washington Heights. Itu0026#39;s a steady, dependable sort of multi-generational plot that was paying Fanny Hurstu0026#39;s bills more than a century ago, the stories and dreams seem well told, even if there are too may of them to keep in your head when we return to a particular character. Itu0026#39;s also a musical, the one that Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote and directed and starred in to make his bones. John Chu has taken over the direction and Anthony Ramos the role.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s some handsome, if not original choreography in this movie, bits lifted from WEST SIDE STORY and ROYAL WEDDING. It follows the tendency to make a big production number out of every dance. Until the next to last one, I experienced the despair I so often feel looking at modern movie musicals, convinced theyu0026#39;ve forgotten how to move the camera, but instead cut, cut, cut. The last dance, however, showed they hadnu0026#39;t. They just would rather do a zip cut than plan out the complex movements.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSigh. Still, the songs were surprisingly strong, particularly u0026quot;Paciencia Y Feu0026quot;, sung by Olga Merediz. Itu0026#39;s a skilled and enthusiastic cast, and it makes me hope that Hollywood will go back to making musicals, that are more than Broadway musicals filmed in front of a proscenium arch.”
