'Wicked' Is a Bewitching Coming-of-Age Movie for a New Era
Briefly

Crafting a good movie musical is a delicate art; it takes a cast that can sing and emote, phenomenal sets, cinematography, and songs to create magic.
This new incarnation of Wicked might have been perfect; however, its pacing choices and reliance on backlights mar an otherwise brilliant adaptation of the Broadway classic.
Wicked almost undoes itself with its love for the source material; but despite its flaws, it succeeds in building an entirely new myth within a well-loved story.
Wicked pivots focus from the doe-eyed Dorothy to the Wicked Witch of the West, cleverly transforming her chaotic reputation into a story of complexity and nuance.
