The picture was nominated for "Golden Globe" in the categories of "Best Film - musical or comedy", "Best Actress in a film - musical or comedy" (Cynthia Erivo), "Best Supporting Actress" (Ariana Grande) and for cinematic achievements and box office receipts.

The novelty has secured the interest of the audience in advance - it is an adaptation of one of the most successful Broadway musicals written by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holtzman, which premiered more than 20 years ago and which, in turn, is based on the novel "Wicked: The Life and Adventures of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire.

It was directed by Jon M. Chu. He already had experience with the musical "At the Height of Dreams", besides with dance movies - his portfolio includes several parts of the hit "Step Up". A separate pleasure in "Wicked" are the vocal parts of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande (which, of course, must be listened to in the original).

The picture received a predominantly positive assessment of foreign critics - 88% of positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The strongest side of the movie many consider the acting of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. And the heroine of the latter with emerald-colored skin, in particular, is called the brightest color of the film.
