Set in Paris, the dazzling movie satirizes the fashion industry, as well as beatnik culture. The great Kay Thompson steals some scenes, but it's Audrey by whom you're mesmerized.

| Original Score: A- | Jan 21, 2022

This offers much more than just the usual thrill of watching Astaire hoofing it.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 23, 2021

It doesn't slack on showing exceptionally choreographed routines and highlighting the stunning agility of the stars.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 22, 2020

The last great original screen musical.

| Feb 3, 2020

There is an agreeable springtime-in-Paris flavor to this handsome Hollywood musical co-starring the aging but agile Fred Astaire as a society photographer and Audrey Hepburn as an intellectual chick from Greenwich Village.

An iconic musical that hasn't aged well, once you get past the (overlong) dance numbers Funny Face is like a great beauty with no personality.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2019

...works best if you don't think about the nearly 30-year age gap between the romantic leads.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 22, 2019

The film fairly bursts with charm, the Gershwin songs are lively, Paris is as photogenic as ever and the existentialists are grubby to the life.

| Jul 20, 2018

The great photographer Richard Avedon curated the titles and exquisitely coloured stills of Hepburn in the latest collection from Givenchy, and each one is poster-perfect. The plot, such as it is, is full of lighthearted fun.

| Jan 2, 2018

What is startling here is the eye-popping colour, the self-reflexive photography and visual effects, the dance sequences (Fred Astaire with his umbrella), and the witty and ingenious use of the Paris locations.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 28, 2014

If you're prepared to do a bit of revisionist thinking, it all makes sense.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2014

Astaire could still dance up a storm, no doubt about it, and this has its moments.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2014

It's an intermittently charming trifle with directorial style to burn in the place of any kind of satisfactory substance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2014

A timeless musical treat and the most fun you can have with really elegant clothes on.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 24, 2014

One of Hollywood's funniest, most stylish musicals, this breezy satire from 1957 thrives on the pairing of Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 24, 2014

...a sporadically engaging yet hopelessly erratic old-school musical.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 19, 2012

Sensation trumps cogitation-unsurprising in a Hollywood production-which doesn't negate the enduring allure of this beautiful bauble.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 26, 2012

Bubbly, fashion-crazed Hepburn-Astaire musical.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 15, 2010

Of her iconic films, Hepburn shines the most in Funny Face by focusing on what makes her beautiful.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2009

...can clunk like a tin can in the dryer. But hey, we're talking Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, so that's some mighty elegant slack we're willing to cut here.
