Simon E Aug 15 So many good songs and still as important today as it was back then. Deserved all the oscars See more Jessica L Feb 20 I'm a huge fan of most musicals. This one is NO exception. I just think the music is FABULOUS and the storyline is wonderful. I'm not a fan of the time period it took place in, but I don't pay attention to that. LOL. See more Teddy B Jan 12 Imbued with an infectious sense of humour (courtesy of Liza Minelli) marked by an underlying melancholia, 'Cabaret' is enjoyable if slightly convoluted at times. See more js c 12/06/2024 A tragic story through the eyes of a night club singer/prostitute and her roommate. The musical performances punctuate the effects of the era on the all-too vulnerable characters. Still holds up after half-a-century and is a lesson for humanity. See more Jay W 12/02/2024 All reviews will include some level of subjectivity. To think that movies can be measured objectively, as if there is a specific formula for success is crazy. Film is an art, not a science. Thus, although this is a critically acclaimed classic, listed in AFI's top 100, I personally did not care for it. Admittedly I'm typically not a huge musical fan. But with the exception of "Money makes the World go Around", I didn't find the songs very memorable. The movie isn't organized with the typical 3 act structure. Instead the plot juggles several different storylines that come in and out. They are anchored by the main characters, who are all pretty vain and selfish people. Beyond the main characters hanging out, there is a war going on. I didn't care for any time they cut back to the cabaret show, it felt like a waste of time. Likewise I didn't care about the scenes of our protagonists sitting around just talking, I found those scenes uninteresting. One of the main themes seem to be the importance of escapism in times of struggle. So far be it from me to take away other people's enjoyment of the film. See more Zesty B 10/18/2024 Had no idea what to expect, didn’t know what I was getting myself into. This just looked like a fun musical, it was enticing. Only until you watch the whole movie do you understand what you’ve been experiencing the entire time. Unease, tension, confusion, and it’s intentional. It starts hypnotic and ends eerie. Great direction, stellar performances, and, above all, an absolutely wild ride. Just watch it, even if you’re not into musicals. This is much more than a musical. It’s a slap in the face.
