I always assumed this was fun and peppy. Something about the phrase "All That Jazz" sounds like a party. It was not. It was REALLY good, and it bummed me out.
I loved the daughter and the girlfriend doing that very cute little dance routine,
All That Jazz
All that work. All that glitter. All that pain. All that love. All that crazy rhythm. All that jazz.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dazzling descent into the mind of a man destroying himself through ambition and addiction, told with operatic flair and increasingly hallucinatory style. Fosse's most personal film fuses feverish musical numbers with unflinching examination of ego, exhaustion, and the cost of genius.
