I still remember seeing this trailer in a theater and being completely mesmerized and breathless. Streisand took such an artistic leap of faith with this film. Yentl is her masterpiece! - @Monday, May 21, 2018 3:23 AM

The original short story was so brilliant it saddens me to see such a pathetic adaptation which the author himself called "Artistic suicide". - @Monday, December 19, 2016 9:18 PM

I don't think this is a transgender thing. I don't think Yentl feels trapped in a woman's body. I think it's just for a woman it's harder back then to get education and a voice. So isn't it just her dressing up so she can survive and able to learn what she's wanting to learn? Nothing to do with wanting to be a boy alone? Right? Because that's what I thought when I've seen this movie.. but when I just read it on Wikipedia it came across as it's about a girl just wanting to be a boy. Can you please explain, thank you. :) - @Wednesday, May 25, 2016 6:05 PM

YENTL rhymes with GENTILE ... and so, perhaps Yentl symbolizes not a Jewish woman's desire to study Torah, but a Gentile man's desire to study Torah? And the moral here is, it is more proper for a Jew to teach, and the Gentile to listen. Well, how Jewish are you? - Is an interesting question, do you not think? - @Thursday, January 14, 2016 9:28 PM
