Customer Reviews

Poignant, brought tears to my eyes!
"With all there is why settle for just a piece of sky" The perfect song. With streisand film you could feel the intensity of each characters emotions. The struggles and the triumph resulting from every decision that was made. Ive always wanted happy endings but this film depicts that we cannot settle for endings we want. Most of the time we have to compromise we have to accept the fact that somethings gotta give. In most aspects of life. The characters was well portrayed. I could relate to yentl's dillema and the innocence of hadass and the I cant help but fall inlove with avigdor. Streisand deserve more credit for this one but again was underrated as usuall.

Gorgeous Music, Drama, and Cinematography
My most favourite Barbra Streisand's album - and easily one of my most favourite albums, is the Yentl soundtrack. That lacks the instrumental pieces so here is where to get it.

Given the weight of the project, some extras would have been nice, and a lot more effort in the design of the menus.

Worst Film Ever Made
I have just been forced to sit through this complete and utter rubbish. I did try to nod off a few times but the noise of Ms Streisand's Catawalling kept waking me up!
What complete and utter hogwash. Just about everything about this film is unrealistic, unbelievable and poorly done.
Avoid at all costs.
