Wesley C.Jan 5, 2023"Girls are people." "A radical!" "Oh, go away." This movie brings me so so so much joy. The music is great, the characters are so charming and full of life, every moment of dancing sends my heart soaring. There's a part where Tevye defiantly declares that he's going to…

👨❤️💋👨☀️ louie ☀️ 👨❤️💋👨Mar 3, 2005We did Fiddler on the Roof in high school and I was (expertly) cast as the rabbi.

A classic to watch, it’s basically a tradition
apple bottom jeans is "meh" onFiddler on the RoofHad to watch it for school but Tevye was eating “If I Were a Rich Man” UPPP. That little shimmy he did made it better. Also Tzietel, Chava, and Hodel went crazy on “Matchmaker” idk but I liked it
Mickerdoo likedFiddler on the RoofEnjoyed the music in this and was kind of surprised at how much I recognized from pop sampling.
- MovieDaddy likedFiddler on the Roof
An all-time classic. The music is timeless, the characters are memorable, and the story is so important for sustaining Jewish culture on screen. Funny, heartwarming, and certainly dramatic. A must-watch for cinefiles and musical lovers.
James Cameron lovedFiddler on the RoofGreat acting from the cast, a couple of the songs I listen to regularly. Feels similar to a gentleman in Paris Does make the current (2020's) Geopolitical climate that bit more bizarre.
Eye Cinc lovedFiddler on the RoofA 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.
- William Luckenbach lovedFiddler on the Roof
Fiddler on The Roof is an absolute masterpiece. This is a beautiful film with a powerful story, phenomenal music, and wonderful acting. 9/10
Sarah Pecoraro likedFiddler on the RoofA classic for a reason. Tevye steals every scene - no wonder he played the role over 3,500 times!
Gabby lovedFiddler on the Roofyassss so much better than the stage one where they all sound like theyre from long island

Norman Jewison's literal-mindedness actually helps squeeze some of the goo from the material.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
Would it be heresy on my part to suggest that Fiddler isn't much as a musical, and that director Norman Jewison has made as good a film as can be made from a story that is quite simply boring?
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
It still stands up as an upbeat portrait of pre-revolutionary Russia, and will have you whistling If I Were A Rich Man for days.
