Among the stand-out performances was Maria's Zegler, as well as Ariana DeBose’s newly empowered, Golden Globe-winning portrayal of Puerto Rican immigrant Anita —the girlfriend of Bernardo and close confidante to Maria.New York TimesRather than embalming a classic with homage or aggressively reinventing it, Spielberg, Kushner, Peck and their collaborators ... have rediscovered its breathing, thrilling essence.
