Wicked
In the land of Oz, ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda at Shiz University, and the two's unlikely friendship is tested as they begin to fulfill their respective destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

The film surges from its lowest point during the overlong Dancing Through Life sequence to emotional heights when Galinda genuinely connects with Elphaba.
Wicked builds steadily from a visually impressive but slow start through strong character development and meaningful themes about discrimination. The film stumbles with some overlong musical sequences but recovers with powerful performances from Erivo and Grande. It culminates in a universally acclaimed finale that showcases both spectacular visuals and emotional resonance, leaving audiences thoroughly satisfied despite pacing issues.
