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.
Audience Sentiment
Defying Gravity - the soaring finale
Dancing Through Life drags on
The film recovers dramatically from its lowest point during the overlong 'Dancing Through Life' sequence to reach emotional peaks, particularly during the Wizard revelation and 'Defying Gravity' finale
Wicked delivers a visually stunning adaptation that overcomes pacing issues with powerhouse performances from Erivo and Grande. While some sequences drag and the two-part structure leaves story threads unresolved, the film soars during its musical highlights and emotional peaks, particularly the transcendent 'Defying Gravity' finale.
