Recommandations
- 100
Empire
Savagely witty on backstage life and audaciously edited, Jazz stands alongside Cabaret as the best musical of the last 20 years. - 91
The A.V. Club
Fosse spins his runaway narcissism into self-effacing humor and filters the darkest themes through electrifying song-and-dance numbers. The musical sequences are a lesson in choreography, not just for Fosse's renowned wit and invention in handling his dancers, but also in the editing, which fuses music and movement in perfectly timed cuts. - 90
The Dissolve
All That Jazz is one of the most self-indulgent movies ever made—but blessedly so. - 88
Slant Magazine
All That Jazz may be Fosse’s finest cinematic achievement. - 80
The New York Times
An uproarious display of brilliance, nerve, dance, maudlin confessions, inside jokes and, especially, ego. - 70
Variety
All That Jazz is a self-important, egomaniacal, wonderfully choreographed, often compelling film which portrays the energetic life, and preoccupation with death, of a director-choreographer who ultimately suffers a heart attack. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
All That Jazz is great-looking but not easy to watch; Fosse's indulgent vision at times approaches sour self-loathing, and nothing like the explicit open-heart surgery had been seen on mainstream American screens, let alone the morbid song-and-dance routines in an operating theater. - 50
Time
Though Scheider is a wry, sensitive actor, he soon gets lost in the vulgar theatrics. So does the subject of death. When Fosse attempts to put his heart on the table, he does so too literally.
