Wagner & Me | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Audience Member Wagner's dark side leaves Fry, both a Jew and classical music fanatic, torn in his super-fandom of Wagner. In Wagner & Me Fry explores this conflict while visiting the sites of Wagner's greatest musical triumphs and discussing it with historians, musicians and family members. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful introduction to Wagner's opera and his life's work. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Anything with Stephen Fry is worth watching. This is a wonderful look at Wagner, his beautiful music, his place in history, and a gay, Jewish man's conflicted feelings over his love of music that has been associated with anti-antisemitism and the Nazis. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member [?/12] Stephen Fry könnte von mir aus auch das Telefonbuch von Oer-Erkenschwick vortragen - es wäre trotzdem herzergreifend. :) Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A pleasant little documentary about Wagner and the taint that Hitler's love of Wagner's music has stained it with for many. Could have been either more substantial or shorter, but Fry is always pleasant to "hang out with." Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member You can really feel Frey's passion for Wagner. I'm not sure I'm quite as big as he is in forgiving Wagner's anti-Semitic sentiments because the music is bigger than the man. The music came out of the man and the man was a card carrying nazi. Maybe he didn't kill anyone but hitter probably didn't physically kill anyone either. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
