I came into the movie with very little opinion either way about the Wizard of Oz and musicals broadly. I wasn't sure what to expect story wise, only that it is "the other side of the story".
Have to say, it was giving revolutionary vibes, but I also know that those vibes are usually watered down in the end. I don't want to dredge up "capitalist realism" here, since it's very pessimistic in my opinion.
The closing of the film was simply incredible. Visually this movie is stunning and the climax of the movie really delivers. Makes me wish I had seen it in theaters.
