Reviews


100
Empire - Kim Newman
Savagely witty on backstage life and audaciously edited, Jazz stands alongside Cabaret as the best “musical” of the last 20 years.
91
The A.V. Club - Scott Tobias
Fosse spins his runaway narcissism into self-effacing humor and filters the darkest themes through electrifying song-and-dance numbers. The musical sequences are a lesson in choreography, not just for Fosse's renowned wit and invention in handling his dancers, but also in the editing, which fuses music and movement in perfectly timed cuts.
90
The Dissolve - Noel Murray
All That Jazz is one of the most self-indulgent movies ever made—but blessedly so.
88
Slant Magazine - Eric Henderson
All That Jazz may be Fosse’s finest cinematic achievement.
80
The New York Times - Vincent Canby
An uproarious display of brilliance, nerve, dance, maudlin confessions, inside jokes and, especially, ego.
