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.

The eponymous young woman (Barbra Streisand) has been brought up by her father (Nehemiah Persoff) to be a free thinking and curious young girl, and one who is determined to get an education even though it is only boys who are allowed to go to university. When he dies, she hits on quite a riskily inn More
