Fiddler on the Roof: Critic Reviews

Topol breathes new life into Joseph Stein, Jerry Bock, and Sheldoon Harnick's musical.

Epic story of Jews during the Russian Revolution.

With each musical number, another integral and eternal aspect of Judaism is pondered, explored, and expressed with passionate flourishes.

Oy, what schmaltz!

Though the acting is good and some of the songs are glorious, this film version of the stage hit leaves much to be desired due to lack of imagination of helmer Norman Jewison and excessive running time (180 minutes).

A lavish musical, too lavish for the subject matter, though.

enjoyable and charming

Touching story with great music.

L'Chaim! Life itself, joyous and tragic, is the subject of the boisterous, comic, heartbreaking vision of Fiddler on the Roof.

Stolid, uncinematic exercise in milking more cash from a nicely scored but mediocre Broadway hit.

Norman Jewison's mind-numbingly literal adaptation of the stage musical Fiddler on the Roof is no disaster, but it certainly has its limitations.

Una de las peliculas mas hermosas de la historia.
