Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen Ratings & Reviews
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Mark R. Leeper
FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN is more than a "making-of" documentary; the people involved with making the film talk not just about making the film, but their own backgrounds and emotions, and how they affected their work.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
A rousing account of the making of the great 1971 Norman Jewison musical.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In the words of "Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen," it isn't just a documentary about the film's transition from stage to screen, but a "chronicle of a spirited creative quest."
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Most of the documentary satisfies less in a gossipy or conflict-driven way than as a reassuring testament to the fact that some beloved movies apparently were as enjoyable to make as they are to watch.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Raim has not only constructed a lively and informational documentary about a beloved musical but crafted a love letter to its director. This is the type of work that should captivate anyone interested in cinema...fandom or familiarity not required.
National Review
Armond White
This doc looks into Hollywood's multicultural liberalism before the industry became obsessed with virtue-signaling and limited its enterprise.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
If, like Tevye, you don't remember growing older but can't forget Fiddler after half a century, this film's for you.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
It really lays out so lucidly the history... The clips that they show are revelatory in so many ways.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
A worthwhile exploration of the 1971 film version of Fiddler on the Roof and its place in the history of the musical.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
"Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen" is as wondrous, buoyant and heartwarming as the film it celebrates.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
While Fiddler's Journey might not be groundbreaking in terms of movie documentaries, it's a must-watch for fans of Fiddler on the Roof.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
If this documentary never makes it out of the category of 'interesting DVD extra' into a standalone film, it still has some entertaining inside stories and some insights into the art of cinematic storytelling.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
The creative details and anecdotes will appeal most to both the shows fans and movie buffs, along with snippets of on-set footage from the production.

Leonard Maltin
This is no ordinary behind-the-scenes documentary. For one thing, it chronicles the adaptation of a musical play that qualifies as a genuine phenomenon. Based on a story originally told in Yiddish, it has turned out to have universal resonance.
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
Raim wisely works in many instances of "Fiddler" actors and music department members reciting lines or singing lyrics from the movie, often from memory.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
A joyous deep dive into a musical and movie that is probably deserving of another revival.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The results, crammed with film clips and behind-the-scenes footage, will prove fascinating to Fiddler aficionados.
Film Threat
Benjamin Franz
Fiddler's Journey To The Big Screen is a wondrous picture.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Captivating, illuminating and well-edited. You won't look at Fiddler on the Roof the same way again.
