[Streisand gives] a natural, unforced performance, easily one of the three or four best Best Actresses in Oscar history.

The fun is there whenever Streisand is, and that could be reason enough for reacquainting yourself with Funny Girl.

Well worth watching, even if most later Streisand movies aren't.

I wish William Wyler's direction was more inventive and humurous (it's his first musical), but Streisand gives a meteoric performance, as Fanny Frice and as herself, showing a tremendous charismatic presence that goes beyond physical looks and acting.

A fine movie musical and a nice reminder of the time when Streisand was a talent rather than a 'phenomenon'.

Dazzling musical romance is long but entertaining.

This extended Streisand Special has done absolutely nothing to correct the flaws in the Broadway original.

Few film debuts in the 1960s were more auspicious than that of Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl.

Barbra Streisand in her Hollywood debut makes a marked impact.

It is impossible to praise Miss Streisand too highly; hard to find much to praise about the rest of the film.
August 12, 2008
Streisand is stunning, but the film is a trial, particularly when the music disappears somewhere around the 90-minute mark and all that's left is leaden melodrama.

In lesser hands this would fall flat because nothing is written to comfort the supporting players. They are extras with names and blurred faces.
