Saturday Night Fever

CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 6.9

A young Brooklyn man finds confidence and escape on the disco dance floor, where his talent makes him a local star. Away from the club, he faces a difficult home life, limited prospects, and complicated relationships as he considers whether dancing can help him build a different future.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy character-driven coming-of-age dramas, period atmosphere, and standout dance scenes; Not for you if you want a light, polished musical with an uncomplicated story.
