Pros: Lush cinematography, Great Soundtrack, Captivating story
Cons: Longer than necessary, One or two songs are repetitious, Streisand's femininity is hard to disguise
Barbra Streisand's directorial debut in the 1983 production of Yentl was an unqualified success. The film received critical acclaim, and the musical score by Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Michel Legrand earned Oscars. This simple story, adapted...

Pros: inspirational, high quality, wonderful songs
Cons: probably would appeal more to women than men
I recommended this movie for my daughter. It is am inspirational story of a young woman's personal courage and fight to study her religious faith. Plus, it is highly entertaining - posing as a young man so that she can study the Torah, Yentl finds...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: STREISAND A BOY? NOT
At a time when neither power nor love are freely offered to women, Yentl (Streisand) approaches the apex of her life. Raised by her father to be a free-thinking woman, she is required to hide her thirst for knowledge as Jewish law prohibits women from...

Pros: Fabulous Musical!
Cons: None
"Yentl" was the directing debut for Streisand. This was a wonderful performance by her both in front and behind the camera. Streisand is Yentl, a young woman who wants to study the Jewish Talmud more than anything. Unfortunately, this was...

Pros: Super love story
Cons: 0
Not only did Barbara Streisand star in Yentl, but she produced, directed and co-wrote this fable of love and sacrifice.
Based on Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy, in eastern Europe, when the world of knowledge belonged only to men, a girl named Yentl...

Pros: Wonderful. Absolutely Wonderful.
Cons: None to speak of.
I really love this movie. No matter how many times I see it. The music is incredible, as well as the costumes and photography. The scenery is breathtaking. Barbra Streisand for all her many listed faults spends most of the camera's time on the...

Pros: fine detailing.
Cons: virtually none
Barbra Streisand is well known not only for her perfectionism but also for her achievements. In a time when musicals where not as popular as in the 1950's or 1960's, Yentl broke that barrier, and proved to be a "door opener" to all women...
