Rebbe Mendel is a single father who teaches the Talmud, a sacred text of Judaism, to the boys of his small Polish town. Behind closed doors, he also instructs his daughter, Yentl, despite the fact that girls are forbidden to study religious scripture. When Yentl's father dies, she still has a strong desire to learn about her faith -- so she disguises herself as a male, enrolls in a religious school, and unexpectedly finds love along the way.

Didn't know it was musical (honestly my bad with Barbra Streisand) but I was actually pleasantly surprised. It's quite a fresh story imo and a good length for the story. The singing could have been less, but I just don't like musicals and honestly it wasn't too bad, Barbra does have a great voice. Ngl the actual plot with actions from characters that made sense (more and more rare) made this movie for me. Overall I was super pleasantly surprised by mostly the plot, and could deal with the singing. It does help me to watch slower paced movies late at night. Rating: 8.3/10, would watch again

Finally managed to get through all the way, and despite thinking Streisand a terrific singer, beautiful, and with wonderful comic timing, this musical was just too Barbra. By that I mean a one-horse show. The character of Yentl seemed to be a launch pad, with very little rocket fuel to set the character into flight, just Barbra. it strikes its feminist tone alright, but then in the end her escape is simply geographic. I find Fiddler on the Roof more evocative as a story. This was just pleasant songs strung together with froth.
