Funny Girl Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Funny Girl endures precisely because of the strength of Streisand's magnetic performance.
Battleship Pretension
Rudie Obias
It plays just as well in 2024, as it did in 1968 with loads of charm and grace from Streisand's star-making performance and Wyler's steady hand and eye in the director's chair.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
Some stars shine. This one sparkles.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
It's remarkable how much of the film is constructed on, and succeeds because of, Streisand's face and how it is lit and framed.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
William Wyler may have been the perfect choice to center Streisand, for the first time, on the big screen.
Age of the Geek
Jana Monji
This is a must-see for fans of musicals and Barbra Streisand and as a study of how a successful musical can be transitioned into a film. This is all about Streisand, but a Broadway and Hollywood fairytale about Fanny Brice.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
The score remains imprinted on several generations...
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Though the premise isn't particularly original or memorable, Streisand's turn is incredibly fitting.
Kansas City Star
KC Star Staff
[Barbra Streisand] is the best of all possible reasons to see the movie version of the musical. In short, she is sublime -- which saves the film as a whole from suffocating under its own glossy, ill-conceived hugeness.
New York Times
Renata Adler
When she is singing--in a marvelous scene on roller skates--when she throws a line away, or shrugs, or looks funny or sad, she has a power, gentleness and intensity that rather knocks all the props and sets and camera angles on their ear.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Streisand is stunning, but the film is a trial, particularly when the music disappears somewhere around the 90-minute mark and all that's left is leaden melodrama.
TIME Magazine
This extended Streisand Special has done absolutely nothing to correct the flaws in the Broadway original.
Variety
Variety Staff
Barbra Streisand in her Hollywood debut makes a marked impact.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is impossible to praise Miss Streisand too highly; hard to find much to praise about the rest of the film.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Hello, gorgeous!
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Now more than ever, the time may be right for 'People Who Need People,' one of the many fine tunes that punctuate Funny Girl.
Dallas Morning News
Mario Tarradell
Remains Barbra Streisand's greatest moment on the big screen.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Whatever its flaws, Funny Girl is one star vehicle that works perfectly for its subject.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Barbra Streisand was the perfect choice to play the Florenz Ziegfeld-era comedienne Fanny Brice.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A superb example of Hollywood craftsmanship in which all elements have been blended to perfection with inspired artistry.
