"Inspired by 1960s Italian shockumentaries, a teenage rock musical, and the real-life horrors of girls entering adulthood...it's not a feminist anthem, but an unlocked vault to the carnal, the psychological, the explicit, and the revolting aspects of the feminine experience. Cuddly…
"Saturday Night Fever always manages to deceive the viewer. When the 1977 film begins—with John Travolta’s Tony Manero strutting down the street, flares swinging along to Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive”—you can’t help but feel a pang of excitement...Disco is alive and…

"A much-cherished cult classic...Its soundtrack is one of the greatest punk albums you will ever own...While the movie puts the dyed mohawks and party hi-jinks up front, at its core it’s a thoughtful documentary masquerading as a fictional dramedy, one…
