Critic Reviews of "West Side Story (1961)"
New York Daily NewsMarch 02, 2015Natalie Wood, who was made a hit in the Kazan-Inge production of Splendor In the Grass and is the most promising young star of today, gives a fine dramatic performance.
VarietyFebruary 20, 2013West Side Story is a beautifully-mounted, impressive, emotion-ridden and violent musical which, in its stark approach to a raging social problem and realism of unfoldment, may set a pattern for future musical presentations.
Time OutNovember 16, 2011Special mention, though, should go to Boris Leven's neo-expressionist production design and Daniel L Fapp's forceful cinematography: the crooked angles, pointed shadows and great swashes of red all heighten the mood of rabid fury.
TIME MagazineFebruary 18, 2009Unhappily, the film shares a serious flaw in the essential conception of the show; both are founded on a phony literary analogy and on some potentially vicious pseudo-sociology.
Chicago ReaderFebruary 09, 2007Decent 1961 adaptation of the Bernstein-Robbins musical, if you can handle Richard Beymer and Natalie Wood in the leads.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006How does the film -- which won ten Oscars on its 1961 release -- stand up now? Very well indeed.
Radio TimesJanuary 27, 2014Ten well-deserved Oscars -- plus a special award for Jerome Robbins's dynamic choreography -- adorned this electrifying and moving version of the magnificent Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim musical.
ColeSmithey.comAugust 04, 2012[VIDEO ESSAY] Indisputably the greatest musical ever made, "West Side Story" (1961) has sadly proven socially timeless regarding America's eternally troubled immigrant experience.
Eclipse MagazineApril 22, 2012Even though I had to play it for my high school choir, I was never a fan of the music. Everything else - the cinematography, choreography and story are all pretty stellar.
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 22, 2012You have to admire the way every aspect of the film works toward the emotional impact.
Movie MetropolisDecember 29, 2011West Side Story remains one of the best musicals of all-time.
