Ziegfeld Follies Ratings & Reviews
Age of the Geek
Jana Monji
This film is worth seeing for its historic value in showing Fanny Brice toward the end of her career and other stars at the beginning. The Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire segment is a treasure, but Astaire with Lucille Bremer in yellowface is so cringey.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
There are certainly individual elements to enjoy here, but the scattershot nature of Ziegfeld Follies may test the patience of even the most ardent fan of classic Hollywood musicals.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The quality between sketches is inconsistent - respectively taking the gold, silver and bronze are ...
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
Takes some of Hollywood's grandest silk purses and makes a bunch of sow's ears.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A spangled hodgepodge, conjured up for the benefit of Powell-Pressburger and Ken Russell
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Uneven anthology with some great Minnelli musical numbers.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Though not one of Minnelli (or MGM's) best musicals, this pastice is worth seeing for the dancing of Astarire and Kelly (the first and only time), Fanny Brice's shtick, and Judy Garland satirizing Greer Garson
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...an elaborate showcase for the exceptional musical and comedy talents of MGM's biggest stars, with no messy story line or characterizations getting in the way.

Christopher Null
Some of the performances are standouts, but just as many are utter duds.

Mark Bourne
Technically it's magnificent overkill, from Minnelli's swooping crane shots to the turning, floating 'Hello Dali!' carnival-wedding-cake scenic design to the intense Technicolor that burned holes in retinas.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Large-scale musical with hit or miss tunes
