"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

A film miniature set to classical music. At dawn, the outlines of a park are visible. The gate opens, and distinguished strollers fill the park. Musicians take their places in the park gazebo and prepare for a concert. A woman with a dog on a leash, a couple on horseback, and men on bicycles cross a bridge over a stream.

In the blink of an eye, the peaceful atmosphere is shattered.
