Critic Reviews of "Topsy Turvy"
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Leigh's cast are beyond compare, and the whole bighearted, splendidly droll celebration of the entertainer's lot surely stands among British cinema's one-of-a-kind treasures.
Houston ChronicleJuly 21, 2005If you are a Gilbert and Sullivan buff, you will be in heaven. If you are not, the first thing you will need to know is that the film is nearly three hours long.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002The film is a delight and a surprise, all the more so since Leigh is associated with gritty working-class stories.
Q Network Film DeskApril 06, 2011Leigh's strict attention to detail and his uncommon method of involving his actors in the creative process of forming the script infuses life into material that could have easily become another stiff, British period production
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)October 30, 2008The sense of a work of art coming to life has rarely been more beautifully or excitingly portrayed. This is a film not to be missed.
Sacramento News & ReviewAugust 07, 2008A great study on the struggle to create live theater, containing beautiful musical sequences and fantastic portrayals of the musical's creators.
Big Picture Big SoundJuly 14, 2007There is not an unrealized or extraneous character in the film, and I can't remember a movie that so completely studies the intricacies of bringing a production to the stage.
Film ThreatDecember 06, 2005The real magic of this film is in the way most of the characters skillfully navigate their way around each other's sizable but fragile egos.
Reeling ReviewsApril 09, 2005Leigh has handcrafted a big production and succeeds, mostly, in entertaining the viewer to the end -- especially for fans of Gilbert and Sullivan.
