Leave your thoughts about Flashdance.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA simplistic fairy tale, directed by Lyne in a trashy, superficially glitzy style, with pretense to realism in its on-location shooting and a woman who works as a welder, and the kind of postmodernism that's mostly evident in the heroine's name, Alex. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelWith a score by Giorgio Moroder, and with ingenious costumes that are utterly au courant, Flashdance contains such dynamic dance scenes that it's a pity there's a story here to bog them down. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeThe working-class ambitions in Flashdance are not about grace but fame. |
| Radio TimesAlan JonesDirector Adrian Lyne caught the post-disco visual mood of the time to win over even the most cynical viewer. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonDepressing to think that this was a huge hit on the back of the Irene Cara hit single, since there's absolutely nothing to it. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrWith a score by Giorgio Moroder, and with ingenious costumes that are utterly au courant, Flashdance contains such dynamic dance scenes that it's a pity there's a story here to bog them down. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThe story doesn't help Miss Beals either, because she's at her least convincing when having to register any emotion other than rapture. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA stylish, fast-paced let's-get-physical movie |
| VarietyVariety StaffVirtually plotless, exceedingly thin on characterization and sociologically laughable, pic at least lives up to its title by offering an anthology of extraordinarily flashy dance numbers. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFlashdance might be considered one of the first signs of Hollywood's Apocalypse. |
