En el barrio

Acerca de esta película

El creador de Hamilton y director de Locamente millonarios te invita a un evento cinematográfico, en el que las calles se llenan de música y de grandes sueños. Se encienden las luces de Washington Heights. El aroma de un cafecito caliente flota en el aire a la salida del metro en 181st Street, donde un caleidoscopio de sueños congrega a esta comunidad activa y unida. En medio de todo eso, aparece el querible y carismático dueño de la bodega, Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), quien ahorra cada centavo día a día mientras sueña, imagina y canta con la esperanza de una vida mejor. En el barrio combina las letras y la música cinéticas de Lin‐Manuel Miranda con la capacidad del director Jon M. Chu para crear narraciones vívidas y auténticas, y entre los dos plasman un mundo que es muy local, pero a la vez universal en la experiencia.

Calificaciones y opiniones

Was a little skeptical to go into this, but I must say been a while since I saw a musical movie this good. Was really entertained with the good musics and dances. Plot was good enough and performances were on point with great selection of music tracks. Was a little bit race oriented bit nothing too serious. I highly recommend this for a chillaxing Friday night with the babe.

Loved the rootable characters, sense of community, and big numbers! Joyful and emotional movie with both a sense of place and representation, and universal themes. Watched this in the movie theater twice and bought video on demand as soon as available. You notice a lot more "little details" too on second viewing -- it's a great work of art on top of being entertaining.

Beautifully shot, missed some songs from the musical, acting is a bit Disney Channel ish (over-acting) but love the story, the music, and the dancing
