Saturday Night Fever

"The way 'Saturday Night Fever' has been directed and shot, we feel the languorous pull of the discotheque, and the gaudiness is transformed. These are among the most hypnotically beautiful pop dance scenes ever filmed (...) Travolta gets so far inside the role he seems incapable of a false note (...) 'Saturday Night Fever' gets at something deeply romantic: the need to move, to dance, and the need to be who you'd like to be. Nirvana is the dance; when the music stops, you return to being ordinary" 

"'Saturday Night Fever' makes good moviemaking seem easy (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"The movie's musical and dancing sequences are dazzling. (...) [the] camera occupies the dance floor so well that we really do understand the lure of the disco world, for all of the emptiness and cruelty the characters find there (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Take two aspirin, maybe 'Fever' will go away (...) [It] quickly degenerates into an urban exploitation film"
