The emotional culmination of one of cinema's great musical adaptations delivers everything the first half promised � devastating heartbreak, soaring performances, and a finale that earns every tear.
For Good Indeed
Jon M. Chu delivers the emotional payoff that the first film carefully built toward. The result works both as a standalone film and as the fulfillment of a two-part theatrical event. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande remain the film's twin pillars, and their chemistry carries every scene. Erivo in particular delivers a career-defining performance � "No Good Deed" is staged with an intensity that could peel paint off walls.
"For Good delivers on every promise. Erivo and Grande are a generational pairing � when they're together, cinema feels alive in the oldest, most thrilling way."
� Rolling Stone"Defying Gravity" Reprise
The film's final sequence, bringing back the iconic "Defying Gravity" motif with new emotional weight, is the kind of cinematic moment that reminds you why you go to the movies. Bring tissues. Bring more tissues. Bring an extra pair pre-soaked in tears to save time. At nearly $1B worldwide across Thanksgiving weekend, audiences clearly agreed.
The Verdict
A rare sequel that completes rather than diminishes its predecessor. This is event cinema at its finest.
