Narcissistic and self-indulgent to a fault, it’s also like nothing you’ve ever seen before and probably never will again.

Reviews for All That Jazz
All That Jazz compels us to deal emotionally with our own death and the values which give meaing to our lives.
01/29/04
Some of it makes you wince, but a lot of it is great fun.
05/09/05
Top CriticAmazing stuff -- cool, cruel, and brilliant.
01/01/00
All That Jazz may be Fosse’s finest cinematic achievement.
08/28/03
Energetic Fellini-esque autobiographical examination of the life (and near death) of Bob Fosse
08/03/09
Almost every scene is excruciating (and a few are appalling), yet the film stirs an obscene fascination with its rapid, speed-freak cutting and passionate psychological striptease.
08/12/08
Top CriticSelf-reflexive, narcissistic, and entertaining, this film is Fosse's 81/2 (he even uses Fellini's cinemtographer Rotunno). High production values and superb acting by Roy Scheider as the artist's alter-ego makes this morbid musical Fosse's best work.
02/28/07
Savagely witty on backstage life and audaciously edited.
08/12/08
Though Scheider is a wry, sensitive actor, he soon gets lost in the vulgar theatrics.
08/12/08
Top CriticA self-important, egomaniacal, wonderfully choreographed, often compelling film which portrays the energetic life, and preoccupation with death, of a director-choreographer.
06/18/08
Top CriticThe dancing is frenzied, the dialogue piercing, the photography superb, and the acting first-rate, with non-showman Scheider an illustrious example of casting against type.
08/12/08
It's very pleased with itself.

Fosse at the top of his game; self-indulgent, but totally engrossing with Scheider doing a wicked impersonation of the director-choreographer.
10/23/02
Interesting, but overrated
09/12/02
The magnificent Fosse touch at its best.
02/05/04
Flawed but dazzling masterpiece with a stunning performance by Roy Scheider.

Ain't Jazz dance grand when you're dyin' ?
