| I truly did not expect the emotional wallop that this film delivered. Heartbreaking and devastating. The raw violence was overwhelming. This remains the most innovative score to ever hit Broadway with the sheer audacity of its musical idioms. Astonishing that Spielberg was able to pull off this miracle. I hope it will get a wider audience when it moves to streaming but it needs to be seen on the big screen. They just don’t make them like this anymore. Ex eat that they did. Rita Moreno is beyond words. A Boy Like That is a dramatic masterpiece thanks to Sondheim’s lyrics. The air is hummin and Oscar gold is coming. |
