Critics Consensus

An absolute masterpiece whose groundbreaking visuals and deft storytelling are still every bit as resonant, The Wizard of Oz is a must-see film for young and old.

Garland manifests this fracture in the way she embodies Dorothy鈥檚 innocence, her confusion, and her despair鈥� You fully sense that it springs from deeper wounds.

Rated: 5/5 •

Arguably the greatest family film ever made, this Judy Garland classic is seemingly simple children鈥檚 entertainment.

Philadelphia Inquirer

The Wizard of Oz has been filmed with imagination. It has warmth and understanding of child psychology; it has gentle humor and a sturdy philosophical undercurrent. [It is] a rare and distinguished film that should capture the hearts of all ages.

Willamette Week

There鈥檚 a beautiful lack of fuss to the way The Wizard of Oz credibly maintains the possibility that Oz is a generative fabrication of Dorothy鈥檚 subconscious without losing any of the yellow brick road鈥檚 transportive gleam.

It is a film you should see as an example of the extraordinary mechanical possibilities of the motion picture. But the three ill-at-ease musical comedy men... will make you feel that the wrong cast had wandered onto the set.
