"A perfect example of a movie that's better known for its impact on pop culture than for what exists on celluloid" | ||
|
|
|

 |
|
"Adrian Lyne caught the post-disco visual mood of the time to win over even the most cynical viewer" | ||

|
|

"If Flashdance had spent just a little more effort getting to know the heroine of its story, and a little less time trying to rip off "Saturday Night Fever," it might have been a much better film" |
