"13.1. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Olen oikeastaan aivan rakastunut Boogie Nightsin kerrontaan, tekniseen toteutukseen ja etenkin sen katseluun. Helposti ja mieluusti katselisi useamminkin, ihan jo koska 2,5-tuntinen elokuva on katsottaessa kuin puolituntinen. Nousu ja tuho (+ kaikki ei olekaan ihan päin persettä -lopetus) -tarina vain on vähän liikaa esikuvissaan kiinni ollakseen riittävän omaperäinen ja näin voidakseen kokonaisuutena nousta sille pykälälle, mitä sen välitön nautittav"

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: Up until Rollergirl asked Amber Waves to be her mummy, this was a very clean picture, and up until Dirk Diggler was escaping Rahad this was very smooth playback. Sounded amazing in its entirety. DATE: May 30th 2023 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End"

"If Boogie Nights is your favorite movie...You are fascinated with all things Diggler, but, more importantly, with all things 70's. And clearly, the best and most fascinating thing about this film - aside from its simultaneous depth and levity regarding the industry - is the absolutely groovy and perfect soundtrack. Further, the filmmaking is superb; you are especially fond of unique scenes/shots, such as A) walking through the door twice; and B) that firecracker scene - quite possibly the greate"

“'Boogie Nights' is more than a great film even, it's fantastic and more worthy of even more praise than it already gets.

What is immediately impressive after finishing is how it tackles the subject matters of pornography, disco and drugs, very difficult subjects to portray in any media without being too trashy or causing offence but 'Boogie Nights' manages to make a film that commits neither of those things (even with the sex and drug abuse being prominent, they all have their full impact without being over-the-top or trivialised) and instead make one that's interesting and entertaining as well as disturbing and emotional.
