Om denne film

Skaberen af "Hamilton" og instruktøren af "Crazy Rich Asians" inviterer dig med til en filmisk begivenhed, hvor gaderne er fyldt med musik og store drømme. Lyset er rettet mod Washington Heights. Duften af varm kaffe hænger i luften foran metrostoppet ved 181st Street, hvor store fremtidsdrømme forener det farverige nabolag. Midt i det hele finder vi den sympatiske butiksejer Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), der sparer hver eneste penny sammen i håbet om at synge sig til et bedre liv. "In the Heights" kombinerer Lin-Manuel Mirandas fængende musik med instruktøren John M. Chus blik for autentiske historier i en verden, der er helt sin egen og universelt forståelig på samme tid.

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
