In the Heights (2021)
Good Movie, Great Story
The Bad:
It was a little too long most likely because they had a lot of characters that got backstories.
I wish the death of Abuela Claudia meant more at the time, build the connection between her and Usnavi, before she died, almost like that was his last link keeping him in the Heights and after her death causes him to want to reconnect with his heritage, but by the end, he realizes the Heights is his home.
The Good:
I thought all the songs fit in the movie really well and were entertaining/current.
The characters were relatable and came across likable, and it would have been so easy/lazy to make the dad (Jimmy Smits) seem like a bad guy, but they did not do that.
This is now in my top 3 of musical movies, yes top 3 because I have only found 3 musical movies I enjoy.

Watch a better version "Broadchurch" or "Gracepoint"
This show is just okay and even bad at times. It is almost a complete ripoff of "Broadchurch" the original English version and the American version "Gracepoint", which are by far better shows.
