Victor/Victoria Reviews
It was a sensational, engaging, and evocative film that rightly remains one of the bright spots of 1982 and of historical pro-LGBTQ cinema.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 26, 2022
It’s enjoyable and basically its heart is in the right place. It’s a step forward in a time when most films seem to be a step behind, and that’s saying something.

A star vehicle for his wife Julie Andrews, Blake Edwards' Victor/Victoria takes its gender-bending premise to preposterous levels, but results in a sparkling and hugely enjoyable musical comedy.

Edwards' enjoyable musical farce boasts terrific turns from Julie Andrews as a starving artist playing a man impersonating a woman, Garner as a Chicago gangster, Preston as the flamboyant gay friend, and Lesley Ann Warren as the perpetually horny floozie
