    Amazon.com essential video
    Barbra Streisand made her directorial debut with this 1983 adaptation of the Isaac Bashevis Singer story about a young Eastern European woman (Streisand) who disguises herself as a male at the turn of the century in order to get an education. Except for an excessive musical score with too many songs and Streisand's tiresome tendency to play characters who suppress their beauty, the film is crisp and engaging, and the gender-bending love story complications are fun, if gimmicky. Streisand gives a smart, vulnerable performance and gets fresh work from costars Mandy Patinkin and Amy Irving. --Tom Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars One of my favorites!   February 5, 2010
    A. Nadeau (arizona)
    I love the movie Yentl, and had requested it for years, unfortunately, my hubby, being new at online shopping, first bought me a region 2 DVD. Apparently they have never released it on DVD for the US. I don't understand that. Barbra Streisand has many diehard fans who would love this movie. Yes, she sings a lot in it... that's why we love her. Mandy Patinkin and Amy Irving are just wonderful and of course Barbra is at her best. It has serious moments, romantic moments, and funny moments. One of my favorite old school films. In the meantime, I have purchased this VHS copy to tide me over.

    One of the best movies of all time. It hits the mark when it portrays the life of the Jewish people.


    4 out of 5 stars Yentl - a Unique (if Flawed) Film (3.5 stars)   December 26, 2008
    Antonio Robert (Slovakia, Europe)
    "Yentl" is one of those movies that contain too much of Barbra Streisand. For her fans it's OK to bear, other may get fed up. For example, the overwrought soundtrack which does not even fit the movie very well, makes it overlong. On the plus side, the songs quite pointedly describe feelings Yentl has at a given moment of the movie. And when we pass over the fact that hiding of a girl in man's clothes counts on total naiveté of other characters, the movie is well worth your time. The story and especially the love triangle among Yentl, Avigdor (curiously dashing Mandy Patinkin) and Hadass (beautiful and delicate Amy Irving) is unique and does great promotion to I.B. Singer's short story. Most food for thought comes from variations and discussions on Jewish religious writings, mostly when concerning intimate lives of people. These moments make the film - among the great many of those with treat trans-gender disguises - unique and hard to forget. The 1983 flick's country looks resemble "Fiddler on the Roof" quite much - this is understandable, since the settings are similar. For me the movie has a special magic as much of it was shot in the former Czechoslovakia, which used to be my homeland before Slovakia got independent in 1993.


    5 out of 5 stars DVD Release Date In Canada !!!   December 14, 2008

    Amazon.ca is currently listing a DVD release date of February 3,2009. So maybe the U.S. will release it around the same time. If not you can order it from Canada and it will play in all American DVD players. Or if you have a PAL DVD player you could get it right now on Amazon.uk since they are the only ones who seem to be selling it at this time.


    5 out of 5 stars Yentl- No DVD??!!   October 24, 2008

    I have all of Barbra Streisand movies on Dvd except for this one. This is one of the biggest mysteries. It probably is Barbra's best film ever and it is still not out on Dvd. What are they waiting for? I wish someone knew the answer to this question.
