Reviews & comments
Roger Ebert
pressThe movie is a dazzling song and dance extravaganza, with just enough words to support the music and allow everyone to catch their breath between songs.
Variety
pressFirst-time feature director Rob Marshall and Oscar-winning "Gods and Monsters" screenwriter Bill Condon have spun the dark tale of two murdering floozies into a widely palatable entertainment, but the long-gestating film comes up short in rhythm and personality.
The New York Times
pressWho would have expected Ms. Zellweger --- and Miramax -- to come through in a musical? And it's one of the few Christmas entertainments to run under two hours. Who couldn't love that?
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe movie version of 'Chicago' is a screen triumph that should ride critical kudos and award recognition to significant commercial success.
