On the plus side are vast, brilliant sets by Tony Walton, a couple of well-staged show-stoppers, Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor, and Diana Ross who, as Dorothy, is just gorgeous. Full Review

So much wit and talent and energy crowd the screen in this lavishly filmed variant of the Oz story that it is depressing to realize that the production never had a chance. Full Review

Sidney Lumet's lack of film imagination makes him fail in a genre as imaginative as the musical... The movie completely loses its undeniable appeal. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review
