“Cinematographer Surtees shoots the picture in harsh, high-contrast black and white, a strategy that replicates the glare of the spotlight. You can feel Fosse’s kinship with the comic as a fellow creature of show business, reveling in the bottom-rung dressing rooms and the backstage camaraderie of musicians and show-people talking trash and shooting junk.” – Crooked Marquee, 09/25/2026
