etonline.com:

Steven Spielberg managed (rather unsurprisingly) to breathe new life into a beloved classic with his extravagant retelling of the cult-favorite musical, whichdepicts a beautifully tragic tale of rivalry and forbidden love on the streets of Manhattan's Upper West Side. (the 2021 version) proved — much like its predecessor — to be a hit among Academy members, with Spielberg's vibrant remake racking up a total of 7 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.

The original 1961 film still reigns as one of the most lauded cinematic musicals in history, having won 10 Oscars at the 34th Annual Academy Awards ceremony in 1962 — including a golden statue for Rita Moreno in her role as Anita.With an all-star cast thatsees Rachel Zegler as María, Ansel Elgort as Tony, Ariana DeBose as Anita (which DeBose earned a Best Supporting Actress nod for) and David Alvarez as Bernardo, among so many others, really is one of the year's can't-miss films — and a huge contender for some of the top prizes at the 2022 Academy Awards, too.And now, audiences will soon be able to immerse themselves in the splendor of the streets of San Juan Hills and have a front row seat to Tony and Maria's love story, all within the comforts of their own home — as Spielberg's will be available to stream online beginning March 2.
