It's easy to drift away from the story and become absorbed in Minnelli's impossibly delicate textures, but there is a little something here for everybody.

Top CriticIn the hands of a master craftsman, even this otherwise iffy musical becomes lively, lovely entertainment.

A quintessential Minnelli musical, a morally ambiguous, sophisticated tale of Parisian decadence, done in sumptuous MGM style, Gigi is the biggest commercial hit of Minnelli and Arthur Freed's lengthy collaboration.

Chevalier and Caron's charms and a bubbly score -- tres chic

...one of Hollywood's most celebrated classics from an era when studios were still making meticulous, tune-filled musicals.

So artificial it threatens to collapse, but nice to look at

A charming delight.

Feminist musical, with Minnelli's taste and visual style, makes for an involving experience.

All charm and champagne, but a feminist nightmare.

Given the shortage of dancing and soaring vocal melodies...Minnelli must lean heavily on personality and a spectacle defined by the pageantry of historic locations, sets and costumes. [Blu-ray]

Splendid MGM Lerner and Lowe musical classic in all areas: stars, music, and overall production.
02/17/08
A gorgeous musical that lacks the nuance and emotion of other films in its genre.

Gigi is dressed to kill, but if all the French finery impresses the customers, it also smothers the story.
