Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Garland achieves true stature with her deeply understanding performance, while her sisterly running-mate, Lucille Bremer, likewise makes excellent impact with a well-balanced performance.
One of the great musicals.
The joys of the film linger with the music and encourage you to savor the true moments of family togetherness.
In the words of one of the gentlemen, it is a ginger-peachy show.
