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

Barbra Streisand in her Hollywood debut makes a marked impact.
January 26, 2006
Well worth watching, even if most later Streisand movies aren't.
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.
October 23, 2004
It is impossible to praise Miss Streisand too highly; hard to find much to praise about the rest of the film.

Few film debuts in the 1960s were more auspicious than that of Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl.
February 07, 2008
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.
August 12, 2008
A fine movie musical and a nice reminder of the time when Streisand was a talent rather than a 'phenomenon'.
February 15, 2012
Dazzling musical romance is long but entertaining.
January 28, 2008
[Streisand gives] a natural, unforced performance, easily one of the three or four best Best Actresses in Oscar history.

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

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