Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Not your normal period piece, to be sure.

fresh:
The film is a delight and a surprise, all the more so since Leigh is associated with gritty working-class stories.

rotten:
If you are a Gilbert and Sullivan buff, you will be in heaven. If you are not, the first thing you will need to know is that the film is nearly three hours long.

fresh:
Leigh's cast are beyond compare, and the whole bighearted, splendidly droll celebration of the entertainer's lot surely stands among British cinema's one-of-a-kind treasures.

[A] beautifully crafted and lively romp around the 1880s stage world.
