A strong story shown with a gentle touch.

I don't know why I took so long to watch this movie... it's wonderful.Beautifully written and beautifully put on screen. Barbara Streisand is adorable, impossible not to get attached to her character. It might even be the similarities we have - our look, being grown up with our dads... - but I felt really emotionally involved with this story. A story that has been shown with a gentle touch saying strong matters. I don't even like musicals too much, but this is much more than that, this is a memoir. A deep tale of a jewish girl in 1904 who is passionate about studying and to do so she fakes to be a man to be accepted in school. It's an intrinsic story, accompanied by her incredible voice that pierce your soul. Yentl is a girl full of passion, full of determination and full of love. Alone. Never forgetting her dad's lessons and keeping him in her heart, she goes through absurd situations that will make her stronger, and will make her fight for women's rights.The story is shown with love in a majestic way. Impossible not to keep Yentl in your heart after having spent two hours with her. Wonderful. Wonderful...

Barbra Streisand's Dream Movie

You may love her or hate but the truth should be admitted - Streisand is an extremely talented artist. "Yentl' is her baby of directing, producing, co-writing and starring as a girl who wants to study and become a rabbi and who has to disguise herself as a boy to be accepted in a college. Streisand had fought the studio for 15 years to get it made, and she put her heart into this. Barbra is a gifted director, and the film is beautifully shot. I liked her acting - I thought she was convincing and touching when her character started to fall in love with a fellow student (very appealing Mandy Patinkin, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father: prepare to die" of "The Princess Bride") and had to hide her feelings. I also like her singing and I think that the songs belong to the film and can not be taken out of the context.7.5/10
