Oliver Stone Says ‘Wicked’ is Best of 2024

January 1, 2025 Jordan Ruimy

I don’t know if Oliver Stone has taken too many sugar cookies, but he’s decided to go to bat for John M. Chu’s “Wicked,” citing it as the best film he’s seen this year. No, really. The filmmaker behind “Platoon” and “JFK” is madly in love with Chu’s musical.

Stone loves “the sensuality and intelligence of the movie.” Adding that Chu is a “helluva filmmaker” and it’s “amazing that he pulled it off with a Hollywood studio.” Stone went on to rave about the two leads (via X):

I didn’t know these two actresses, but what a surprise to find both their performances so fresh and different. Ariana Grande is a marvel of cuteness with her sparkly eyes – who, I wonder, could’ve give birth to such a delightful fairytale creature? And Cynthia Erivo brings a depth and intelligence to Elphaba, the Evil Witch from Oz, that is very moving!

Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Adam McKay have also been eating ‘Wicked’ sugar cookies as all three filmmakers recently came out and praised the film. McKay went as far as to state that “Wicked” was so “radical” that he wouldn’t be surprised if it got “banned” in the next “3-5 years.”
