Review of Yentl (1983) by Thomas P — 17 Nov 2011
It took a second, later viewing for me to appreciate how good this movie is. While suspension of disbelief is required for Streisand's transformation, the romantic-spiritual-feminist themes are well-played out and emotionally satisfying.
The fine music is less about being a 'musical' and more operatic in its integration into the story. Yentl has not aged in its appeal.
