The Wiz review lacks heart in updated Oz tale
The stage and screen version of The Wiz starring Diana Ross Ted Ross Nipsey Russell and Michael Jackson is lavish and stylish but its music-focused approach leaves little emotional warmth. Sidney Lumet directs New York locations creatively yet the film runs 133 minutes and to some viewers feels overlong with a disco-heavy score: a stylish but sentimentless adaptation.
