Editorial Reviews

Barbra Streisand's directorial debut, Yentl, is a musical adaptation of a story by the beloved Jewish writer Isaac Bashevis Singer. Yentl (Streisand) is a young woman who wants nothing more than to study religious scripture. She is denied that possibility because she is a woman. She moves, passes herself off as a male named Anshel, and then begins her studies. She becomes close to fellow student Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin), eventually falling in love with him, although she can not reveal her true self as she would then be expelled. Avigdor is in love with Hadass (Amy Irving), but religious law forbids him from marrying her. Avigdor attempts to fix Anshel up with Hadass, leading to Hadass falling in love with Anshel. Yentl received four Academy Award nominations, including two Best Song nods. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

April 18, 2009: Visually beautiful movie with wonderful music and an uplifting story, particularly for young women. Streisand's directorial debut is terrific and the extras show how long she worked on this movie and what went into making it. In particular, it shows the year she spent staging the musical numbers. Filmed on location in Eastern Europe, the movie was given extraordinary access to the various locales, including closing a major bridge for the first time soley for this production. The message of this movie is simple - Don't let anyone keep you from following your dreams. This is Streisand's masterpiece.

March 30, 2009: Babs classic appealing to everyone. appropriate for most age groups. Well-structured story, beautiful cinematography, magnificent music and appealing performances make this a movie that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Bonus features, such as rehearsal footage and deleted scenes are fascinating.
