The TVI Take

Jon M. Chu's 2025 second half of the Wicked film duology.

The structural commitment to the source musical's second act, the harder dramatic material the original Broadway run handled with mixed success, is the production's central challenge. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande continue to anchor; the film earns its IQ on craft fidelity and on the genre achievement of letting a movie musical run at theatrical-scale ambition.
