We can finally talk about IN THE HEIGHTS after a year since the first time I watched it. It’s truly wonderful. Hopefully a game-change for Latino films in Hollywood. My favorite musical number is that of Olga Merediz as Abuela Claudia. Put her on your awards predictions now. pic.twitter.com/21Ex0AHnqI

Leslie Grace’s performance in #InTheHeightsMovie rings so true and I’m sure it will connect with many young Latinos who feel the pressure off succeeding not only for themselves but for their communities as well. She is a star. pic.twitter.com/GqM7xR5sIn

Jon M. Chu is on a ding-dang roll and man, he keeps upping his game with each new feature he helms. If this doesn't get him a Best Director Oscar nomination next year for crafting this work of beauty, I'll be damned. This is the first great musical film of the decade.

I'm typically not a big musical guy, but In The Heights is a lot of fun. The music is great, the set pieces are built creatively and have fantastic choreography, and Anthony Ramos is excellent. A movie to look forward to this summer! pic.twitter.com/IzZh43CjJo

#InTheHeights is gorgeous and has a dynamite opening. Latino voices have arrived (we were already here).

If you loved Yuh-Jung Youn this year, get ready to fall in love with Olga Merediz, the first supporting actress contender of the year. Leslie Grace is another breakout! . pic.twitter.com/4nOwhCZ3IW

So…. IN THE HEIGHTS. I'm sorry y'all, I wasn't a fan. I wish people knew how to shoot movie musicals, and that's all I'll say for now.

It shows the commonalities that bind the community & the differences that make it so rich. It shows how the immigrant story is the American story and reminds us the importance of family, community and following your heart. @intheheights #InTheHeights #InTheHeightsMovie pic.twitter.com/PRpMfGxPlb
