Video Review – Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story is a delight, even with its cringe story

December 4, 2021 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno offers up his take on Spielberg’s West Side Story…

This holiday season, West Side Story is back in cinemas, and legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg is tackling the iconic musical. Can his stellar direction overcome the film’s profoundly flawed story? Spielberg sure tries to razzle-dazzle you enough to forget the horrid love story at the center of the piece.

Critic EJ Moreno holds nothing back in his review of the film. Watch it below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…
