It’s a perfect summer bash. The scenes in the heat feel sticky and sweaty…as they should. This hits all the emotional spots it should and never feels forced or inauthentic. Read more

In the Heights is one of the best musical films of this young century. The vast talent on display in front of and behind the camera is beyond extraordinary in countless ways. This will be the movie, above any action-packed franchise entry, to lift our collective spirits this summer. Read more

High octane and full of noise and colour, its a spectacular that doesn’t disappoint. The quirkiness of Crazy Rich Asians is on full display in some of the sequences, which are cleverly filmed. Read more

And while they may be fighting against gentrification and bigotry, the film’s heart remains unquestionably hopeful, so downright wholesome that even the lack of sweat-stained bodies in the 100-degree heat feels like part of the movie magic. Read more

The cast is appealing (Ramos, especially, has a casual charisma that should make him a star), the songs are dynamically orchestrated and performed, and Jon M. Chu’s direction is Big and Widescreen...

Despite those narrative issues, I think it’s a well-crafted movie brimming with vibrancy and pulsing with sweet energy. Read more

In the Heights feels hysterically lively but provides less funny moments than expected, playing more crowd-pleasing than magical. On top of this, I found the musical scenes a bit tiresome and showy. Read more

In the Heights is een feestje op het witte doek voor de musicalliefhebber! Zoals we het vaak zien bij een musical is ook hier de ensemble cast als geheel te prijzen voor hun inspanningen. Zij leveren een opbeurende film, met een verhaal dat weliswaar vol zit met clichés, maar ook zodanig feel good is dat de film een grote gunfactor meekrijgt. Read more

De vibe en de songs zijn vrolijk. Je wilt graag dat de film werkt, maar je moet er teveel moeite voor doen. Zo opsommend klinkt In the Heights erg negatief en dat is onterecht. Soms overstemmen de negatieve punten de positieve, maar is het geheel niet als slecht te bestempelen. Read more
