Movie review - "In the Heights" (2021) **1/2

 Some glorious sequences - bright colours, dancing, imaginatively staged - and a talented cast but at 144 mins it's a a hard slog and they didn't get the love story right. Both of them lack drama and conflict. I constantly felt like this would play better on stage.

Maybe it lacked star power too. Everyone was very capable but it lacked X factor. IMHO anyway. I wanted to love it.
