Leave your thoughts about White Nights.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelFor all its superpower simplifications, White Nights has discovered in Baryshnikov a keen and passionate movie hero. Giggle at the film's naiveté; then feast on Misha and dance down the steppes. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara Shulgasser'80s dance drama has some violence, profanity. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA manipulative movie that spoils the few pleasures it delivers. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt comes to life in the dance sequences, and then drifts away again. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheila BensonThe director, Taylor Hackford, doesn't have the cinematic savvy to sustain so many tensions in a meaningful way; and the screenplay strays far over the line between incisive political comment and heavy-handed Red-baiting. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottPic shies away from the world of classical dance, personified by leading man Mikhail Baryshnikov, in favor of Gregory Hines' 'improvography' and assorted modern stuff in blatant music video contexts. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrDirector Taylor Hackford shapes some engaging performances (the surly, withdrawn Baryshnikov of the early scenes is an intriguing figure) but never extricates himself from the plot machinery; this 1985 feature takes off only in the brief but well-filmed dance sequences. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyWhite Nights is only tolerable when Mr. Baryshnikov is on screen, especially when he is dancing alone or with Mr. Hines, with whom he does a couple of ballet-tap numbers that are of an order of excellence that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. |
| User ReviewBeth RAbsolutely one of my favorite movies ever. Particularly striking is Kolya's solo in the empty Kirov to Vsotsky. Gregory Hines is riveting - a brilliant performance. |
| User ReviewMoriah WI LOVE THIS MOVIE! it is the best movie i have ever seen! |
