90

Based on 31 critic reviews provided by

100	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert It is one of the year's best films.
100	Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum Topsy-Turvy reminds us that, in any age, creative expression is at once the most personal and most communal of enterprises.
100	San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham Part of the appeal of Topsy-Turvy is its generosity about human folly and shortcomings. Its wistfulness is very touching.
100	USA Today Mike Clark One of the year's best movies and certainly its most delightful screen surprise.
100	Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea A triumph.
100	Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington Some movies delight you. Some stimulate and provoke. Some enlighten and inform. And some simply hand you a rousing good time-- does all of that and more.
100	Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt Brilliantly acted, sumptuously filmed, and overflowing with mellifluous music.
90	Rolling Stone Peter Travers The year's most beguilling and touching surprise. Bravo.
88	New York Daily News Jack Mathews A hive of broad, brilliant performances.
81	Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson Topsy-Turvy is flawless, borne along by a savagely witty screenplay that Leigh directs like the gears of a clock.
