Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
"A documentary about a 55-year-old musical sounds like a quaint and nostalgic cinematic scrap book. But 'Fiddler: Miracle of Miracles' turns out be an exhilarating, expansive, warts-and-all look into 1964 Broadway phenomenon 'Fiddler on the Roof'. Director Max Lewkowicz delivers an emotional powerhouse in which none of the compromises, growing pains and ego wars of Fiddler?s creation are left out in the name of tribute".
Los Angeles Times
"As directed by Max Lewkowicz, this engaging and enlightening documentary is stuffed with anecdotes, history and information. It makes excellent use of both new interviews and carefully selected archival footage to reveal the building blocks of all this accomplishment."
The Hollywood Reporter
"The documentary makes a persuasive case as to why this show ? grounded very specifically in the lives of a persecuted Jewish shtetl community in 1905 Imperial Russia ? continues to connect deeply with audiences across vast divides of religion, race, generation, personal experience and sexuality. Its layers of meaning to anyone who has ever felt ostracized alone have cemented its eternal relevance."
Variety
"The global phenomenon of 'Fiddler on the Roof' is given an entertaining if superficial survey in this documentary, 55 years after the musical's Broadway debut".
