Why ‘In the Heights’ lives up to hype: Hot musical is year’s best movie

movie review in the heights Running time: 143 minutes. Rated PG-13 (some language and suggestive references). In theaters and on HBO Max June 10.

Lin-Manuel Miranda has done it again! Again!

The “Hamilton” creator’s blissful new movie “In the Heights,” which is based on his Tony Award-winning 2008 musical, is the best film of the year so far. It’s also easily the best movie-musical since the Oscar-winning “Chicago” from way back in 2002. Please excuse me while I look up some synonyms for “best.”

Romantic and funny, the film — out Thursday in theaters...
