"Wicked is a film adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway musical, directed by Jon M. Chu. With grandiose sets and a striking soundtrack, the film explores the relationship between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande), two witches with opposite personalities, in a context full of racial and social tension. While Erivo impresses with her powerful interpretation of Defying Gravity, capturing raw and universal emotions, Grande surprises with light and captivating humor. However, the film faces challenges: when it is divided into two parts, it loses pace and delivers a narrative without an outcome. Although visually stunning, the production seems hesitant to create something of its own, holding itself hostage to the original material. For fans of the musical, it's a celebration; for others, it may not achieve the same impact."
