Christina Newland iNews.co.uk You can practically see the heat rising off the pavement in Lin-Manuel Miranda and John M. Chu's perfect return-to-the-cinema summertime musical. Rated: 4/5 Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator The choreography (by Christopher Scott) is always terrific and there's that unstoppable energy which, given the film's running time, might eventually have you shouting: "Stop. Stop with the unstoppable energy! I'm over it!" But, you know, what the hell. Jul 29, 2021 Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist Ramos instantly secures his future as a leading man, but every single member of the cast is giving it their all, infusing their vocals and movements with life. Jul 29, 2021 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) Both Jon M. Chu and Miranda are first-generation Americans, therefore, they had several points in common to think together about transposition, through rootlessness and otherness that are two of the main themes of the musical. Rated: 6/10 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Zach Youngs InSession Film In the Heights celebrates that the people in our lives should be the most important part of any dream. We can achieve more with each other than without. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views While In the Heights deserves kudos for depicting authentic immigrant characters in an urban setting, its discomfort with exploring the natural consequences of their actions and demand for a happy ending undercut the film’s authenticity.

Synopsis The creator of "Hamilton" and the director of "Crazy Rich Asians" invite you to the event of the summer, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... "In the Heights." Lights up on Washington Heights... The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. "In the Heights" fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda's kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu's lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.
