Strangely, I'm starting to enjoy Barbara Streisand as an actress.
Funny Girl is gorgeous to look at and Streisand gives a great performance as Fanny Brice, albeit too modern for the era the film is set, and Omar Sharif is completely delicious as Nick Arnstein.
The chemistry between the two leads is really just surface level and we never really get a real sense that Sharif's character truly loves Fanny, but they are still a joy to watch together.
It's also quite hilarious and the music has held up really well.
I dont know enough about the real Brice and Arnstein to judge whether the film is a decent biopic but its a solid and enjoyable musical.
I'd give it 7/10.
