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.

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.

Firstly, box of this dvd says it's "full frame" but that's a bit misleading as it does have the bands at the bottom and top of the screen, so I guess it's widescreen although not "anamorphic" as a previous reveiwer also states (thanks for that btw - it made purchase the dvd, which I'd previously been hesitant about).
It's a great film, Barbra is delightful with a great supporting cast, some of who you will know their face from British tv etc.
The songs are all wonderful and I always find watching this movie quite inspirational. It's one of my favourites.

Musical worth watching

Great movie. Slow moving at times, but always entertaining.
I don't know what Streisand's original intention behind the film was, but I imagine the story, however unlikely, certainly challenged Orthodox Jewish conceptions of the role of the sexes.
Amy Irvine is a bit wooden, but the rest of the roles are well acted and the story holds together well. If your up something a bit different I recommend this DVD to you, despite the technical discussions that have gone before!
