thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 17 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Eye C @ECinc Oct 7 A great musical, a sad story. And still relevant in this days. The movie is the type of it merges with the date that represents and it cannot be watched as a production of its time. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Sep 1 The music!

See more Kevin P 01/27/2025 An epic historical musical that easily lives up to the hype with so much grand storytelling about one humble family trying to change with the times for love while still honing true to their Russian Jewish customs, until the statewide adversity of antisemitism from the Czar Empire slowly creeps over and pushes everyone out. The musical numbers are all fire and staged so well with the folk dance choreography and kinetic energy of all the passionate actors giving it their all (especially the main lead playing the gruff peasant father with a heart of gold). The movie's also very funny, with the father, mother, matchmaker, and dorky tailor being my favorites. "If I Were a Rich Man" is classic, but feels so much more relatable when you get older when in modern times with its timeless message about daydreaming and yearning for a better lot in life as while we toll away during our everyday mundane tasks in our small humble homes & work stations. Everyone is humanized with their own unique funny quirks and heartwarming mini-arcs. It's a nice feministic Critique with enough nuance where it clearly highlights the systemic root of the arranged marriages becoming more tempting under desperate desires to escape poverty. But luckily love and progress still win the day, even with the third and most challenging marriage of the film near the end. How change is a neutral force of nature that is neither good group bad. But must always be considered with an open and considerate mind. Even if it can be a bit jarring with how casual & almost stock it plays off arranging marriages between underage daughters and weird old men. The finale is tragic, but still hopefully with its theme of survival & maintaining community even when others push you out of your own home. That to seek the pursuit of happiness is to be a Fiddler on the roof. Reaching out for your passions and joy no matter how easily you may slip and fall. Because it's all worth it to feel like you're truly living your own destiny. See more Read all reviews
