Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey are electrifying; director Bob Fosse's choreography and the camera work are scintillating.

Bob Fosse's direction is as chaotic as it was in his previous Sweet Charity, a desperate scramble after a style.

The screenplay, which never seems to talk down to an audience while at the same time making its candid points with tasteful emphasis, returns the story to a variety of settings.

Whatever this 1972 feature is, it's entertaining and stylish, though maybe not quite as serious as it wants to be.
June 27, 2007 | Full Review… -
Superbly choreographed by Fosse, the cabaret numbers evoke the Berlin of 1931 - city of gaiety and perversion, of champagne and Nazi propaganda - so vividly that only an idiot could fail to perceive that something is rotten in the state of Weimar.

...the context of Germany on the eve of the Nazi ascent to power makes the entire musical into an unforgettable cry of despair.

Sep 03, 2017Liza Minnelli is fabulous and deserved the Oscar she won for her role in this delightful musical that offers great performances from the rest of the cast and keeps us always conscious of an inevitable darkness that lurks in the shadows to stand in the way of the characters' success.Carlos M Super Reviewer

May 12, 2013The finest hour for everyone involved, "Cabaret" is both an excellent adaptation and stylish, incredible entertainment. Bob Fosse directs with as much gusto and audacity as a filmmaker possibly can, creating awe-inspiring sequence after awe-inspiring sequence. The song-and-dance numbers are really what make the experience so worthwhile, but the narrative (which deals with the rise of Nazi Germany) is just as captivating. Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey are both perfect, giving two of the greatest performances ever captured on film, and the songs are ever so catchy. (I don't recall there being one song I didn't thoroughly enjoy.) "Cabaret" is one of great triumphs of American cinema and is a definite must-see for film and theatre lovers.Stephen E Super Reviewer

Apr 10, 2013Liza Minelli plays an annoying cabaret singer who turns a gay guy straight, gets pregnant (possibly by him, possibly by one of the other guys she was sleeping with) and then has an abortion. All while under the backdrop of a burgeoning nazi germany. Liza performs the title song well, but the bulk of the film is largely uninteresting.Devon B Super Reviewer
