Saturday Night Fever Ratings & Reviews
Daniel Gustavsson
October 12, 2024
It took me a while to see this movie. I think I associated this with other bad Travolta movies of the time (Grease etc). Well, I was very wrong. This movie is pretty awesome. And I was surprised by how dark it went in some places, with some scenes actually being kinda hard to watch. It's also unusual with such an unlikable "hero" as in this. This movie never could have been made today, which gives it a distinct feeling.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Travolta is deft and vibrant, and he never condescends to the character, not even in a scene that has Tony and Stephanie arguing about whose Romeo and Juliet it is, Zeffirelli's or Shakespeare's.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Not many movies are genuine cultural phenomena, and John Badham's Saturday Night Fever is without doubt one of the most memorable.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Saturday Night Fever's heart is actually in the right place. It's ears, though? That's another story.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Saturday Night Fever makes good moviemaking seem easy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There's a lot in the movie that's sad and painful, but after a few years what you remember is John Travolta on the dance floor in that classic white disco suit, and the Bee Gees on the soundtrack.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Saturday Night Fever assaults you with a flagrantly foul-mouthed script and coarse viewpoint.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Saturday Night Fever is wonderfully honest and completely accurate when it comes to depicting that stagnant environment that keeps young people like Tony pinned down.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A small, solid film, made with craft if not resonance.
Variety
A.D. Murphy
Travolta's characterization, given the script and directorial demands, is okay. It will please the already-committed; but it won't win him any new fans.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Today mostly regarded as disco camp, Saturday Night Fever should rank as one of the great American films.
Brooklyn Magazine
Henry Stewart
Contemptuous of the community it phonily purports to depict.
WBUR’s Arts & Culture
Sean Burns
This is one tough picture - bristling and raw, with an aggression more attuned to angry-young-man British kitchen sink dramas than Hollywood's quickie music-fad cash-ins.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
It's a remarkable drama...
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
At its best, though, 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.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Unfairly remembered in some quarters as a kitschy celebration of the disco era (no, that would be Thank God It's Friday), this is actually a hard-hitting drama with an Oscar-nominated performance by John Travolta.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
Travolta's signature dancing and the Bee Gee's soundtrack epitomized the public's general impression of the 1977 film, leaving its seedier elements either forgotten, suppressed, or conveniently ignored.
Bay Area Reporter
Donald McLean
John Travolta is far better than any previous exposure would indicate; his Tony Manero is suitably tough and punkish, but there is also a warmth and vulnerability that make him very appealing.
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
Director John Badham's melodramatic, out-dated, coming-of-age, Bee Gee's-saturated disco dance classic was a defining 70s dance film that was the biggest musical sensation and blockbuster of the late 1970's (from co-producer Robert Stigwood).
Tilt Magazine
Stephen Silver
Offers one of the best soundtracks in the history of movies, and a star-making performance by Travolta. But it's dark as hell- darker than you probably remember (45th anniversary)
