Now more than ever, the time may be right for 'People Who Need People,' one of the many fine tunes that punctuate Funny Girl.

In any other hands this might seem like paper-thin stuff, but Streisand's a consummate professional with the Midas touch.

A fine movie musical and a nice reminder of the time when Streisand was a talent rather than a 'phenomenon'.

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.

Top CriticIt is impossible to praise Miss Streisand too highly; hard to find much to praise about the rest of the film.

Top CriticWhatever its flaws, Funny Girl is one star vehicle that works perfectly for its subject.

Top CriticThere's a reason to see this revival and it's called Barbra: fair enough?
08/27/01
Remains Barbra Streisand's greatest moment on the big screen.

...the quintessential star vehicle for its leading lady, the 1968 movie that made Ms. Streisand famous.

Babs is fabs in her Oscar-winning portrayal of comedian Fanny Brice.
08/31/01
I wish William Wyler's direction was more inventive and humurous (it's his first musical), but Streisand gives a meteoric performance, as Fanny Frice and as herself, showing a tremendous charismatic presence that goes beyond physical looks and acting.

You will have made your mind up about Babs one way or the other, but for the rare uninitiated, this is a fine introduction to her talents.

[Streisand gives] a natural, unforced performance, easily one of the three or four best Best Actresses in Oscar history.
01/28/08
Songs like "Don't Rain on My Parade" live triumphantly on.
