Critics' reviews

"The Big Apple, without appeal (...) the underlying tone of the movie is so sour that it's difficult to take pleasure in the music"

Gary Arnold: The Washington Post
"A vast, rambling, nostalgic expedition back into the big band era, and a celebration of the considerable talents of Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"Martin Scorsese's criminally neglected tribute to the heyday of the MGM musical has aged astonishingly well"

Damon Wise: Empire
