It's hard to think of Funny Girl, in fact, apart from Barbra Streisand. She is the life force. Director William Wyler simply drapes the opulent show around her. Jan 23, 2018 | Full Review…

When she is singing--in a marvelous scene on roller skates--when she throws a line away, or shrugs, or looks funny or sad, she has a power, gentleness and intensity that rather knocks all the props and sets and camera angles on their ear. Jan 9, 2018 | Full Review…

William Wyler's adaption of the stage musical is transformative for many millennials. Whether wearing a hijab, sporting a yarmulke, or bareheaded, my students embrace Streisand's Brice and the star/character's professional chutzpah & insecurities. Jan 8, 2018 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

In lesser hands this would fall flat because nothing is written to comfort the supporting players. They are extras with names and blurred faces. Feb 3, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
