Reviews
Gilda Live has received mixed to positive reviews from critics and audiences. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 6.9/10, reflecting appreciation by viewers for Radner’s energetic and charismatic performances. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a consolidated critics score for the movie, but audience reviews generally praise Radner's vibrant and charming stage presence. Critics have noted the film’s theatrical roots showing in its structure, which some feel limits its cinematic appeal, making it feel more like a taped stage show rather than a traditional film. The New York Times highlighted Radner's exuberance and comic timing as the film's primary strength, writing that "Radner's performances of her signature characters are an infectious joy, though the film occasionally struggles to translate live stage energy to the screen." Metacritic lacks a comprehensive score due to limited contemporary reviews but archival critiques emphasize the significance of Gilda Live as a time capsule of Radner's extraordinary humor and its influence on female comedians that followed. Despite some pacing and editing criticisms, the film remains a beloved showcase of Gilda Radner's legacy in the world of comedy.
