Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story has a brash effervescence. You can feel the joy he got out of it.
Directing his first musical, Spielberg moves into the space of a Broadway-meets-Hollywood classic by giving it a gritty-as-reality color.
Screenwriter Tony Kushner has spiced up the dialogue, making it more authentic.
