Wicked: For Good
dir. Jon M. Chu · 2025
Elphaba stands at the precipice of her identity, torn between the expectations of a society that labels her as the "Wicked Witch" and her own quest for self-acceptance. As she navigates her complex relationship with Glinda, the film unfolds like a vibrant tapestry of musical numbers and emotional confrontations. Watching it feels like being swept into a world where every note and lyric resonates with the struggles of friendship, identity, and the choices that define us.
After challenging the Wizard's totalitarian regime in Oz, Elphaba must grapple with her identity as the "Wicked Witch of the West." Meanwhile, the Wizard has given Glinda the title "Glinda the Good" and a public status as the nation's defender against Elphaba. The two witches must make decisions that seal their fates in this second musical installment.
