Holly W @EmeraldKitty Sep 13, 2026 Viewing early movies with a modern day lens can lead to some pretty harsh reviews. I'm working my way through every "Best Picture" winner. I'm trying to pass judgement as someone from the target audience and not just my personal preferences. For me personally this would be a one. I'm not really a fan of musicals. It's not my kind of story. However, judging it for what it is I would say it was well made, well cast, and the first of its kind in many ways. The success of this film helped open the doors for many others that movie lovers would now consider to be classics. If you are a fan of musicals I would say its worth it to see where it all began.

O roteiro arrasta-se um pouco e algumas músicas parecem fora de propósito. No entanto, é preciso considerá-lo como um produto do seu tempo: ele envelheceu mal, mas isso faz parte, nem toda obra consegue se manter relevante para sempre.

Can we please have a 100 year anniversary remake for this? As a quasi theater kid, this movie was a great peak into how broadway was handled back. Love me some musical history! I cared for all the characters and the music was catchy and phenomenal. I just wish there was more music. Crazy how not many best picture winners have been musicals when this was the first to ever win. See more Christian K @ckacar Jan 28, 2025 Pretty unentertaining throughout. The music and performances were rough and it was a slog for me to get through. See more ChrisCSH H @RT12343453 Sep 8, 2024 Broadway Melody is completely outdated for this day and age but for the time it was incredibly realistic and as the first talking Oscar winner for best picture and also first talking musical for the time, it was incredibly ambitious and revolutionary for the time along with not only musical numbers, but also a love triangle, which is quite entertaining.
