What did you think of this film?
Lights up on Washington Heights…The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life.

The shaved ice vendor (Lin-Manuel Miranda) gloats over the fact that Mister Softee’s ice-cream truck broke down and all the customers are coming back to him, and he raises his prices to take advantage of the situation. The scene ends with him giving the Mister Softee guy one of his shaved ice treats.
Is this stinger worth waiting around for?
