Tirapa review
The Wizard of Oz is the kind of studio proposition that either earns its runtime or becomes a cautionary tale about excess—this cut lands closer to the former.
Director Steven Spielberg stages set pieces as conversations—every geography shift reveals incentives, not just motion.
If you are allergic to earnestness, proceed with caution—but if you miss movies that swing, this one swings hard. The filmmaking stays attentive to consequences: when something breaks, it tends to stay broken.
Readers chasing spoilers should note Tirapa avoids beat-by-beat recounting; the pleasure here is texture, timing, and intention.
Strengths
- Action choreography that prioritizes geography and clarity
- Confident pacing that trusts audience intelligence
- Cohesive visual identity and disciplined framing
- Soundscape and score that elevate tension without bullying it
Weak spots
- A midsection beat repeats thematic ground already established
- The finale asks for an emotional leap some viewers may not grant
- Exposition occasionally arrives in clusters rather than drips
- One subplot gestures at depth without fully landing payoff
Cast
Margot Robbie, Glen Powell, Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, Jenna Ortega
